Details
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: Fix cred ref leak in nfsd_nl_listener_set_doit().
nfsd_nl_listener_set_doit() uses get_current_cred() without put_cred().
As we can see from other callers, svc_xprt_create_from_sa() does not require the extra refcount.
nfsd_nl_listener_set_doit() is always in the process context, sendmsg(), and current->cred does not go away.
Let's use current_cred() in nfsd_nl_listener_set_doit().

Details
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kernel/resource: fix kfree() of bootmem memory again
Since commit ebff7d8f270d ("mem hotunplug: fix kfree() of bootmem memory"), we could get a resource allocated during boot via alloc_resource(). And it's required to release the resource using free_resource(). Howerver, many people use kfree directly which will result in kernel BUG. In order to fix this without fixing every call site, just leak a couple of bytes in such corner case.

Details
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm-integrity: fix a memory leak when rechecking the data
Memory for the "checksums" pointer will leak if the data is rechecked after checksum failure (because the associated kfree won't happen due to 'goto skip_io').
Fix this by freeing the checksums memory before recheck, and just use the "checksum_onstack" memory for storing checksum during recheck.

GHSA-H76C-M8M4-8VH3
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-10-01 12:30 – Updated: 2026-01-20 18:31
VLAI
Details
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: ac97: fix possible memory leak in snd_ac97_dev_register()
If device_register() fails in snd_ac97_dev_register(), it should call put_device() to give up reference, or the name allocated in dev_set_name() is leaked.
Severity
5.5 (Medium)

Mitigation MIT-41
Implementation
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Choose a language or tool that provides automatic memory management, or makes manual memory management less error-prone.
- For example, glibc in Linux provides protection against free of invalid pointers.
- When using Xcode to target OS X or iOS, enable automatic reference counting (ARC) [REF-391].
- To help correctly and consistently manage memory when programming in C++, consider using a smart pointer class such as std::auto_ptr (defined by ISO/IEC ISO/IEC 14882:2003), std::shared_ptr and std::unique_ptr (specified by an upcoming revision of the C++ standard, informally referred to as C++ 1x), or equivalent solutions such as Boost.
Mitigation
Architecture and Design
Use an abstraction library to abstract away risky APIs. Not a complete solution.
Mitigation
Architecture and Design
Build and Compilation
Consider using the Boehm-Demers-Weiser garbage collector (bdwgc), which can help avoid leaks.
