Summary

In the Linux kernel Stratix10 Service Layer firmware, there are bugs causing memory leaks and list corruption. The fix adds memory freeing on the error path, changes allocation from devm_kzalloc() to kzalloc() with explicit kfree(), and removes an erroneous list_del() that corrupted the list head.

Risk Assessment

Memory leaks can lead to exhaustion of system resources, and list corruption can cause crashes or unpredictable system behavior.

Recommendation

Apply a kernel update containing this fix to prevent memory leaks and list corruption.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: firmware: stratix10-svc: fix memory leaks and list corruption bugs Fix a memory leak when gen_pool_alloc() fails by freeing pmem on the error path. Switch pmem allocation from devm_kzalloc() to kzalloc() with explicit kfree() in the free path to match its list-managed lifetime. Remove the erroneous list_del(&svc_data_mem) which corrupted the list head on failed lookups.
