Summary

In the Linux kernel, the xHCI driver has a memory leak in xhci_ring_to_sgtable(). The temporary pages array is not freed after successfully creating the sg_table, leaking memory each time a sideband client gets an endpoint or event ring buffer.

Risk Assessment

The memory leak can gradually exhaust available system memory, leading to performance degradation or system crashes, especially under prolonged operation or frequent sideband interface usage.

Recommendation

Apply the kernel patch that frees the temporary pages array after sg_alloc_table_from_pages() succeeds. Update the kernel to a version containing this fix.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xhci: sideband: fix ring sg table pages leak xhci_ring_to_sgtable() allocates a temporary pages array and uses it to build the returned sg_table with sg_alloc_table_from_pages(). The error paths free the pages array, but the success path returns the sg_table without freeing it. This leaks the temporary array every time a sideband client gets an endpoint or event ring buffer. Free the pages array after sg_alloc_table_from_pages() succeeds. The returned sg_table has its own scatterlist entries and does not depend on the temporary array after construction.
