Summary

A DMA mapping leak was discovered in the Linux kernel's nvme-pci driver during data setup error handling. The leak occurs when allocation of the tracking descriptor for PRP or SGL fails, and also when an invalid bio_vec is detected during PRP mapping.

Risk Assessment

The DMA mapping leak can exhaust memory resources, potentially causing system instability or denial of service (DoS) in environments heavily utilizing NVMe.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that resolves the DMA mapping leak in the nvme-pci driver.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvme-pci: fix dma mapping leak on data setup error We're leaking the initial DMA mapping during iteration if we fail to allocate the tracking descriptor for both PRP and SGL. Unmap the iterator directly; we can't use the existing unmap helper because it depends on the tracking descriptor being successfully allocated, so a new one for an in-use iterator is provided. The mappings were also leaking when the driver detects an invalid bio_vec when mapping PRPs, so fix that too.
