In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ubifs: Free memory for tmpfile name
When opening a ubifs tmpfile on an encrypted directory, function
fscrypt_setup_filename allocates memory for the name that is to be
stored in the directory entry, but after the name has been copied to the
directory entry inode, the memory is not freed.
When running kmemleak on it we see that it is registered as a leak. The
report below is triggered by a simple program 'tmpfile' just opening a
tmpfile:
unreferenced object 0xffff88810178f380 (size 32):
comm "tmpfile", pid 509, jiffies 4294934744 (age 1524.742s)
backtrace:
__kmem_cache_alloc_node
__kmalloc
fscrypt_setup_filename
ubifs_tmpfile
vfs_tmpfile
path_openat
Free this memory after it has been copied to the inode.Verknüpft mit AI von unstrukturierten Daten zu bestehenden CPE der NVD

CWE-401 Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime
The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, which slowly consumes remaining memory.
