In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: fix memory leak in error path of hci_alloc_dev()
Early failures in Bluetooth HCI UART configuration leak SRCU percpu
memory.
When device initialization fails before hci_register_dev() completes,
the HCI_UNREGISTER flag is never set. As a result, when the device
reference count reaches zero, bt_host_release() evaluates this flag as
false and falls back to a direct kfree(hdev).
Because hci_release_dev() is bypassed, the SRCU struct initialized
early in hci_alloc_dev() is never cleaned up, resulting in a leak of
percpu memory.
Fix the leak by explicitly calling cleanup_srcu_struct() in the
fallback (unregistered) branch of bt_host_release() before freeing
the device. |
