Summary

A memory leak of dma_vec allocation was found in the Linux kernel's nvme-pci driver when using P2P memory. The allocation was not freed upon completion because P2P memory is not unmapped.

Risk Assessment

This memory leak can gradually exhaust system resources, potentially causing system instability or crashes in environments heavily using NVMe with P2P memory.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that prevents the dma_vec 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_vecs leak on p2p memory We don't unmap P2P memory, so we don't need to track it. The dma_vec allocation was getting leaked on the completion.
