Right after that the maps try to lock the bucket.\nIf this fails, then maps return -EBUSY to the caller without releasing the\nallocated element. This makes the element untracked: it doesn't belong to\neither of free lists, and it doesn't belong to the hash table, so can't be\nre-used; this eventually leads to the permanent -ENOMEM on LRU map updates,\nwhich is unexpected. Fix this by returning the element to the local free list\nif bucket locking fails." } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "kernel/bpf/hashtab.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "20b6cc34ea74b6a84599c1f8a70f3315b56a1883", "lessThan": "79ea1a12fb9a8275b6e19d4ca625dd872dedcbb9", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "20b6cc34ea74b6a84599c1f8a70f3315b56a1883", "lessThan": "1a9e80f757bbb1562d82e350afce2bb2f712cc3d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "20b6cc34ea74b6a84599c1f8a70f3315b56a1883", "lessThan": "965e9cccbe6b9c7b379908cebcb5e3a47f20dd5e", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "20b6cc34ea74b6a84599c1f8a70f3315b56a1883", "lessThan": "b34ffb0c6d23583830f9327864b9c1f486003305", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "kernel/bpf/hashtab.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "5.11", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "5.11", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.15.115", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.1.31", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.3.5", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.3.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.11", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.115" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.11", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.31" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.11", "versionEndExcluding": "6.3.5" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.11", "versionEndExcluding": "6.4" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/79ea1a12fb9a8275b6e19d4ca625dd872dedcbb9" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1a9e80f757bbb1562d82e350afce2bb2f712cc3d" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/965e9cccbe6b9c7b379908cebcb5e3a47f20dd5e" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b34ffb0c6d23583830f9327864b9c1f486003305" } ], "title": "bpf: fix a memory leak in the LRU and LRU_PERCPU hash maps", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
