kmemleak

A small, surgical change in the Linux kernel’s md (software RAID) code has been recorded as CVE-2024-26900: a memory-management bug where a serial-number allocation for a RAID disk device is not freed if a subsequent kobject_add() call fails, producing persistent kmemleak traces and an...

A narrowly scoped but operationally important memory leak in the Linux kernel SMB client has been assigned CVE-2025-68295 and fixed upstream — the bug causes leaked kernel memory when a multiuser CIFS mount is used with a domain= option together with cifscreds, and operators should prioritize...

A subtle memory-management bug in the Nouveau DRM driver's firmware code has been assigned CVE-2025-68235 and patched upstream after a contributor added a missing kfree that prevents a persistent kmemleak warning by correctly freeing nvkm_falcon_fw::boot during teardown. Background The Linux...

The Linux kernel patch for CVE-2025-38384 fixes a small but real memory-leak in the MTD spinand driver: configuration memory allocated for the ECC engine was not freed during spinand cleanup, producing persistent kmemleak traces and a repeated, host-level availability risk until the driver was...

The Linux kernel entry CVE-2022-50316 closes a small but operationally important defect in OrangeFS that could leak kernel objects when the module is inserted and removed — a leak that, if exercised repeatedly, presents a real availability risk for systems that load the OrangeFS module. Upstream...

A small, targeted kernel fix patched a creeping memory leak inside the CoreSight ACPI parsing path — a defect that doesn’t expose secrets but can steadily erode system availability by leaking ACPI buffer memory allocated through acpi_buffer->pointer until a service or host runs out of memory...
