Summary
In the Linux kernel, the out_forget path in pnfs_layout_process() never drained the free_me list, causing a layout segment leak. Previous fixes added and removed the drain, and this change restores the pnfs_free_lseg_list() call.
Risk Assessment
A layout segment leak gradually exhausts kernel memory, potentially leading to performance degradation or denial of service.
Recommendation
Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that restores the pnfs_free_lseg_list() call on the out_forget path.
Other vulnerabilities in Linux kernel
See all- CVE-2026-98162Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the smb2_tree_connect() function of the SMB server (ksmbd) leaks a tree connection. When ksmbd_iov_pin_rsp() fails, the newly created tree connection is not disconnected, leading to a resource leak.
- CVE-2026-98160Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the staging rtl8723bs driver's rtw_sdio_if1_init() function frees padapter->HalData with kfree(), even though it was allocated via vzalloc(). Using kfree() to release a vmalloc-backed buffer can lead to memory corruption.
- CVE-2026-100079Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the USB Type-C (ucsi) subsystem's ucsi_register() creates per-instance debugfs entries, but ucsi_unregister() keeps them until ucsi_destroy(). Drivers like ucsi_glink that unregister/register the same UCSI instance across remoteproc restart then try to create an already existing debugfs directory.
- CVE-2026-100078Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the iwlwifi (mei) driver's iwl_mei_write_cyclic_buf() function receives an incorrect first argument — the q_head pointer is passed instead of cldev. The bug has been fixed.
- CVE-2026-100077Unknown
In the Linux kernel, the drm/msm driver does not safely retire a hung submit before GPU recovery completes. Retiring the submit triggers BO free, which can result in GPU pagefaults since the GPU may be actively accessing those BOs.
- CVE-2026-100074Unknown
In the Linux kernel, a bug was fixed where the BPF_REFCOUNT field was not marked as unique, although it should be. The fix addresses this oversight.
- CVE-2026-100073Unknown
In the Linux kernel, a bug in the ext4 filesystem related to transaction overflow during writeback was fixed. A previous fix was too eager in reducing reserved transaction credits, leading to insufficient reservation in some corner cases. The fix uses ext4_meta_trans_blocks() for a correct upper bound estimate.
- CVE-2026-100072Unknown
In the Linux kernel, a problem in the ACPI subsystem was fixed where the use of acpi_get_first_physical_node() in acpi_platform_fill_resource() and acpi_create_platform_device() was unsafe because the returned device could be freed at any time. The fix replaces it with acpi_bus_get_primary_device() and adjusts the code to call it only once.
- CVE-2026-100071Unknown
In the Linux kernel, a memory leak in the HSR (High-availability Seamless Redundancy) module was fixed. When hsr_dev_finalize() fails after registering an RX handler, dynamic nodes learned in that window are not released. The fix frees both dynamic databases in the error unwind path.
- CVE-2026-100070Unknown
In the Linux kernel, a bug in the netfilter nf_nat_sip module was fixed where the offset was not rewound when NAT shrinks the packet. If map_addr() changes the packet length, coff may point to an incorrect position, potentially causing subsequent Contact headers to be skipped and leaking internal network details.
Original NVD description (English source)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFSv4.1: fix layout segment leak on the pnfs_layout_process() forget path When the server returns a new layout stateid while a valid one is still held, pnfs_layout_process() calls pnfs_mark_matching_lsegs_return() on the on-stack free_me list and jumps to out_forget. Segments whose reference count drops to zero are unlinked from lo->plh_segs and moved to free_me by mark_lseg_invalid(); for an idle cached segment the layout header holds the only reference, so this happens on the first decrement. out_forget never drains free_me -- only the success path calls pnfs_free_lseg_list(). Commit 814b84971388 ("pNFS/NFSv4: Fix a layout segment leak in pnfs_layout_process()") added the drain; commit 08bd8dbe8882 ("pNFS/NFSv4: Try to return invalid layout in pnfs_layout_process()") removed it while switching the destination to lo->plh_return_segs, which is drained elsewhere. Commit fb700ef02676 ("NFSv4.1: Simplify layout return in pnfs_layout_process()") switched the destination back to free_me without restoring the drain. Restore the pnfs_free_lseg_list() call.
