In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: lpfc: Fix memory leak in lpfc_create_port()
Commit 5e633302ace1 ("scsi: lpfc: vmid: Add support for VMID in mailbox
command") introduced allocations for the VMID resources in
lpfc_create_port() after the call to scsi_host_alloc(). Upon failure on the
VMID allocations, the new code would branch to the 'out' label, which
returns NULL without unwinding anything, thus skipping the call to
scsi_host_put().
Fix the problem by creating a separate label 'out_free_vmid' to unwind the
VMID resources and make the 'out_put_shost' label call only
scsi_host_put(), as was done before the introduction of allocations for
VMID.
A memory leak vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's lpfc SCSI driver. In lpfc_create_port(), when VMID resource allocation fails after scsi_host_alloc() succeeds, the error handling path fails to call scsi_host_put(), leading to a memory leak of the allocated SCSI host structure.
Отчет
This memory leak occurs exclusively in a failure path during port creation, requiring VMID allocation to fail after host allocation succeeds. The leak only happens during driver initialization failures and does not represent an exploitable condition during normal operation, making the practical security impact minimal.
