net: hip04: fix RX buffer leak on build_skb failure

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: hip04: fix RX buffer leak on build_skb failure When build_skb() fails in hip04_rx_poll(), the driver jumps to the refill path without releasing the current RX buffer and its DMA mapping. Installing a replacement buffer then overwrites the slot references and leaks both resources. Keep the current slot intact and return budget so NAPI retries the same buffer. Also free a newly allocated RX fragment when dma_map_single() fails. This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.

CVE-2026-21714

Node.js: Node.js: Memory leak and Denial of Service via crafted HTTP/2 WINDOW_UPDATE frames

A memory leak occurs in Node.js HTTP/2 servers when a client sends WINDOW_UPDATE frames on stream 0 (connection-level) that cause the flow control window to exceed the maximum value of 2³¹-1. The server correctly sends a GOAWAY frame, but the Http2Session object is never cleaned up. This vulnerability affects HTTP2 users on Node.js 20, 22, 24 and 25.

net/mlx5: HWS, fix matcher leak on resize target setup failure

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/mlx5: HWS, fix matcher leak on resize target setup failure hws_bwc_matcher_move() allocates a replacement matcher before setting it as the resize target. If mlx5hws_matcher_resize_set_target() fails, the replacement matcher is not attached anywhere and is leaked. Fix the leak by destroying the replacement matcher before returning from the resize-target failure path. The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly available. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still present in v7.1.1. An x86_64 allyesconfig build showed no new warnings. As we do not have a mlx5 HWS-capable device to test with, no runtime testing was able to be performed.

ieee802154: ca8210: fix cas_ctl leak on spi_async failure

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ieee802154: ca8210: fix cas_ctl leak on spi_async failure ca8210_spi_transfer() allocates cas_ctl with kzalloc_obj(GFP_ATOMIC) and relies entirely on the SPI completion callback ca8210_spi_transfer_complete() to free it. The spi_async() API only invokes the completion callback on successful submission. On failure it returns a negative error code without ever queuing the callback, which leaves cas_ctl and its embedded spi_message and spi_transfer orphaned. Every kfree(cas_ctl) in the driver is inside the completion callback, so there is no other reclamation path. ca8210_spi_transfer() is called from ca8210_spi_exchange(), the interrupt handler ca8210_interrupt_handler(), and from the retry path inside the completion callback itself. The exchange and interrupt handler paths loop on -EBUSY, so under sustained SPI bus contention every retry iteration leaks a fresh cas_ctl (~600 bytes per occurrence). Fix it by freeing cas_ctl on the spi_async() error path. While here, correct the misleading error string: the function calls spi_async(), not spi_sync().

scsi: elx: efct: Fix refcount leak in efct_hw_io_abort()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: elx: efct: Fix refcount leak in efct_hw_io_abort() When efct_hw_reqtag_alloc() fails in efct_hw_io_abort(), the error path returns -ENOSPC without releasing the reference obtained via kref_get_unless_zero() earlier in the function. All other error paths correctly drop the reference. This causes a permanent reference leak on the io_to_abort object. Additionally, the abort_in_progress flag is left set to true on this path, which means future abort attempts for the same I/O will immediately return -EINPROGRESS even though the abort was never submitted, effectively blocking recovery. Fix this by adding the missing kref_put() call and reset abort_in_progress to false, matching the cleanup done in the efct_hw_wq_write() failure path below.

net/sched: act_ct: fix nf_connlabels leak on two error paths

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: act_ct: fix nf_connlabels leak on two error paths tcf_ct_fill_params() calls nf_connlabels_get() (setting put_labels) when TCA_CT_LABELS is present, but two later error sites use a bare return instead of "goto err", skipping the err: nf_connlabels_put() cleanup. They also precede the "p->put_labels = put_labels" assignment, so the tcf_ct_params_free() fallback does not release the count either. Each failed RTM_NEWACTION on these paths leaks one nf_connlabels reference: net->ct.labels_used is incremented and never released. The action is reachable with CAP_NET_ADMIN over the netns, i.e. from an unprivileged user namespace on default-userns kernels. Impact: an unprivileged user with CAP_NET_ADMIN over a network namespace (e.g. via user namespaces) leaks one nf_connlabels reference per failed RTM_NEWACTION on the two error paths; net->ct.labels_used is never released. The err: label is safe to reach from both sites: p->tmpl is still NULL there (kzalloc'd, not yet assigned) and nf_ct_put(NULL) is a no-op, so no inline release is needed.

wifi: wilc1000: fix dma_buffer leak on bus acquire failure

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: wilc1000: fix dma_buffer leak on bus acquire failure wilc_wlan_firmware_download() allocates dma_buffer with kmalloc() at the top of the function and uses a 'fail:' label to free it via kfree(dma_buffer) on error. All later error paths correctly use 'goto fail' to route through this cleanup. However, the early failure path after the first acquire_bus() call uses a bare 'return ret;', which leaks dma_buffer whenever the bus acquire fails. Replace the early return with goto fail so the existing cleanup path runs. Found via a custom Coccinelle semantic patch hunting for kmalloc'd locals leaked on early-return error paths in driver firmware-download code.

The current code discards the returned dentry without calling dput(), causing a reference leak on every firmware reset recovery. Additionally, when CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is disabled, debugfs_lookup() returns ERR_PTR(-ENODEV), not NULL. The current check passes for error pointers and would call dput() on an invalid pointer, causing a crash.
