CVE-2026-23032 NONE

Published: 2026-01-31 | Last Modified: 2026-06-02 | Status: Deferred

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: null_blk: fix kmemleak by releasing references to fault configfs items When CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NULL_BLK_FAULT_INJECTION is enabled, the null-blk driver sets up fault injection support by creating the timeout_inject, requeue_inject, and init_hctx_fault_inject configfs items as children of the top-level nullbX configfs group. However, when the nullbX device is removed, the references taken to these fault-config configfs items are not released. As a result, kmemleak reports a memory leak, for example: unreferenced object 0xc00000021ff25c40 (size 32): comm "mkdir", pid 10665, jiffies 4322121578 hex dump (first 32 bytes): 69 6e 69 74 5f 68 63 74 78 5f 66 61 75 6c 74 5f init_hctx_fault_ 69 6e 6a 65 63 74 00 88 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 inject.......... backtrace (crc 1a018c86): __kmalloc_node_track_caller_noprof+0x494/0xbd8 kvasprintf+0x74/0xf4 config_item_set_name+0xf0/0x104 config_group_init_type_name+0x48/0xfc fault_config_init+0x48/0xf0 0xc0080000180559e4 configfs_mkdir+0x304/0x814 vfs_mkdir+0x49c/0x604 do_mkdirat+0x314/0x3d0 sys_mkdir+0xa0/0xd8 system_call_exception+0x1b0/0x4f0 system_call_vectored_common+0x15c/0x2ec Fix this by explicitly releasing the references to the fault-config configfs items when dropping the reference to the top-level nullbX configfs group.

En el kernel de Linux, la siguiente vulnerabilidad ha sido resuelta: null_blk: corrige kmemleak al liberar referencias a elementos configfs de fallo Cuando CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NULL_BLK_FAULT_INJECTION está habilitado, el controlador null-blk configura el soporte de inyección de fallos al crear los elementos configfs timeout_inject, requeue_inject e init_hctx_fault_inject como hijos del grupo configfs nullbX de nivel superior. Sin embargo, cuando se elimina el dispositivo nullbX, las referencias tomadas a estos elementos configfs de configuración de fallos no se liberan. Como resultado, kmemleak informa de una fuga de memoria, por ejemplo: objeto sin referencia 0xc00000021ff25c40 (tamaño 32): comm 'mkdir', pid 10665, jiffies 4322121578 volcado hexadecimal (primeros 32 bytes): 69 6e 69 74 5f 68 63 74 78 5f 66 61 75 6c 74 5f init_hctx_fault_ 69 6e 6a 65 63 74 00 88 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 inject.......... rastreo (crc 1a018c86): __kmalloc_node_track_caller_noprof+0x494/0xbd8 kvasprintf+0x74/0xf4 config_item_set_name+0xf0/0x104 config_group_init_type_name+0x48/0xfc fault_config_init+0x48/0xf0 0xc0080000180559e4 configfs_mkdir+0x304/0x814 vfs_mkdir+0x49c/0x604 do_mkdirat+0x314/0x3d0 sys_mkdir+0xa0/0xd8 system_call_exception+0x1b0/0x4f0 system_call_vectored_common+0x15c/0x2ec Solucione esto liberando explícitamente las referencias a los elementos configfs de configuración de fallos al eliminar la referencia al grupo configfs nullbX de nivel superior.
