Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-12-30 15:30 – Updated: 2025-12-30 15:30

Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/msm/a6xx: Fix kvzalloc vs state_kcalloc usage

adreno_show_object() is a trap! It will re-allocate the pointer it is passed on first call, when the data is ascii85 encoded, using kvmalloc/ kvfree(). Which means the data passed to it must be kvmalloc'd, ie. we cannot use the state_kcalloc() helper.

This partially reverts commit ec8f1813bf8d ("drm/msm/a6xx: Replace kcalloc() with kvzalloc()"), but adds the missing kvfree() to fix the memory leak that was present previously. And adds a warning comment.
