Summary

In the Linux kernel for the LoongArch architecture, the bpf_jit_free() function has a memory leak because it does not free the JIT context offsets array (jit_data->ctx.offset). This can lead to memory exhaustion when loading BPF programs repeatedly.

Risk Assessment

A local user with privileges to load BPF programs could cause kernel memory exhaustion, leading to system crash or performance degradation.

Recommendation

Install the Linux kernel patch that adds the missing kvfree(jit_data->ctx.offset) in bpf_jit_free(). Reboot the system after the update.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: LoongArch: BPF: Fix memory leak in bpf_jit_free() When bpf_int_jit_compile() is called for subprograms, it returns early during the first pass (!prog->is_func || extra_pass is false), keeping ctx->offset alive for the subsequent extra pass. If JIT compilation fails for a later subprogram, the BPF core aborts and calls bpf_jit_free() to clean up the first subprogram. However, bpf_jit_free() fails to free jit_data->ctx.offset, which causes a memory leak of the JIT context offsets array. So fix this by adding the missing kvfree(jit_data->ctx.offset) in bpf_jit_free().
