Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: fix memory leak in __blkdev_issue_zero_pages
Move the fatal signal check before bio_alloc() to prevent a memory
leak when BLKDEV_ZERO_KILLABLE is set and a fatal signal is pending.
Previously, the bio was allocated before checking for a fatal signal.
If a signal was pending, the code would break out of the loop without
freeing or chaining the just-allocated bio, causing a memory leak.
This matches the pattern already used in __blkdev_issue_write_zeroes()
where the signal check precedes the allocation.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A local user could trigger a memory leak in the __blkdev_issue_zero_pages function within the block subsystem. This occurs when a fatal signal is pending and a block I/O (bio) is allocated but not properly freed, leading to resource exhaustion. This vulnerability can result in a Denial of Service (DoS).
