Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ext4: fix memory leak in parseapplysbmountoptions()

If processing the on-disk mount options fails after any memory was allocated in the ext4fscontext, e.g. sqfnames, then this memory is leaked. Fix this by calling ext4fcfree() instead of kfree() directly.

Reproducer:

mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/vdc
tune2fs /dev/vdc -E mount_opts=usrjquota=file
echo clear > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
mount /dev/vdc /vdc
echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
sleep 5
echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
