Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Fix memory leak in mlx5_core_destroy_cq() error path
Prior to this patch in case mlx5_core_destroy_cq() failed it returns
without completing all destroy operations and that leads to memory leak.
Instead, complete the destroy flow before return error.
Also move mlx5_debug_cq_remove() to the beginning of mlx5_core_destroy_cq()
to be symmetrical with mlx5_core_create_cq().
kmemleak complains on:
unreferenced object 0xc000000038625100 (size 64):

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net/mlx5e: corrige la pérdida de memoria en la ruta de error mlx5_core_destroy_cq(). Antes de este parche, en caso de que mlx5_core_destroy_cq() fallara, regresa sin completar todas las operaciones de destrucción y eso conduce a una pérdida de memoria. En su lugar, complete el flujo de destrucción antes de que se produzca el error de devolución. También mueva mlx5_debug_cq_remove() al principio de mlx5_core_destroy_cq() para que sea simétrico con mlx5_core_create_cq(). kmemleak se queja de: objeto sin referencia 0xc000000038625100 (tamaño 64): comm "ethtool", pid 28301, jiffies 4298062946 (edad 785.380 s) volcado hexadecimal (primeros 32 bytes): 60 01 48 94 00 00 00 c0 b8 05 34 3 00 00 00 c0 `.H.......4..... 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 db 7d c1 00 00 00 c0 ..........}..... rastreo hacia atrás : [<000000009e8643cb>] add_res_tree+0xd0/0x270 [mlx5_core] [<00000000e7cb8e6c>] mlx5_debug_cq_add+0x5c/0xc0 [mlx5_core] [<000000002a12918f>] 0x1d0/0x2d0 [mlx5_core] [<00000000cef0a696>] mlx5e_create_cq+0x210/0x3f0 [mlx5_core] [<000000009c642c26>] mlx5e_open_cq+0xb4/0x130 [mlx5_core] [<0000000058dfa578>] mlx5e_ptp_open+0x7f4/0xe10 [mlx5_core] [<0000000081839561>] 5e_open_channels+0x9cc/0x13e0 [mlx5_core] [<0000000009cf05d4>] mlx5e_switch_priv_channels+0xa4 /0x230 [mlx5_core] [<0000000042bbedd8>] mlx5e_safe_switch_params+0x14c/0x300 [mlx5_core] [<0000000004bc9db8>] set_pflag_tx_port_ts+0x9c/0x160 [mlx5_core [<00000000a] 0553443>] mlx5e_set_priv_flags+0xd0/0x1b0 [mlx5_core] [<00000000a8f3d84b>] etnl_set_privflags +0x234/0x2d0 [<00000000fd27f27c>] genl_family_rcv_msg_doit+0x108/0x1d0 [<00000000f495e2bb>] genl_family_rcv_msg+0xe4/0x1f0 [<00000000646c5c2c>] v_msg+0x78/0x120 [<00000000d53e384e>] netlink_rcv_skb+0x74/0x1a0
