Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
octeontx2-af: CGX: fix bitmap leaks
The RX/TX flow-control bitmaps (rx_fc_pfvf_bmap and tx_fc_pfvf_bmap)
are allocated by cgx_lmac_init() but never freed in cgx_lmac_exit().
Unbinding and rebinding the driver therefore triggers kmemleak:
unreferenced object (size 16):
backtrace:
rvu_alloc_bitmap
cgx_probe
Free both bitmaps during teardown.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's octeontx2-af CGX driver. This vulnerability occurs because RX/TX flow-control bitmaps are allocated during initialization but are not properly freed when the driver is unbound and rebound. A local attacker could repeatedly unbind and rebind the driver, leading to a kernel memory leak (kmemleak). Over time, this could result in resource exhaustion and potentially impact system stability.
Отчет
Red Hat acknowledges the upstream Linux kernel correction for «octeontx2-af» as described in COMMENT_ZERO. Fixes are delivered through standard kernel errata for supported products. Operational exposure depends on whether this subsystem or driver is active in your configuration.
