      <title>CVE-2023-54050 — ubifs: Fix memleak when insert_old_idx() failed</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2023-54050</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ubifs: Fix memleak when insert_old_idx() failed&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Following process will cause a memleak for copied up znode:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;dirty_cow_znode
  zn = copy_znode(c, znode);
  err = insert_old_idx(c, zbr-&amp;gt;lnum, zbr-&amp;gt;offs);
  if (unlikely(err))
     return ERR_PTR(err);   // No one refers to zn.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fetch a reproducer in [Link].&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Function copy_znode() is split into 2 parts: resource allocation
and znode replacement, insert_old_idx() is split in similar way,
so resource cleanup could be done in error handling path without
corrupting metadata(mem &amp;amp; disk).
It&amp;#39;s okay that old index inserting is put behind of add_idx_dirt(),
old index is used in layout_leb_in_gaps(), so the two processes do
not depend on each other.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
