Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/hns: Fix memory leak of bonding resources In a corner case of concurrent driver removal and driver reset, bonding resource is first released in hns_roce_hw_v2_exit() during driver removal, and then is allocated again in hns_roce_register_device() during driver reset.
This leads to memory leak because the release timing has already passed.
This may also lead to a kernel panic as below because of the leaked notifier callback: Call trace: 0xffffa20fccc04978 (P) raw_notifier_call_chain+0x20/0x38 call_netdevice_notifiers_info+0x60/0xb8 netdev_lower_state_changed+0x4c/0xb8 As Sashiko suggested, the teardown order of bonding resources should be inverted to make sure the resources are released when the driver is removed.
This memory leak can potentially cause a kernel panic, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected system. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 5.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).
Weakness: CWE-826. Red Hat lists Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 as not affected.
