Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
iio: buffer: Fix DMA fence leak in iio_buffer_enqueue_dmabuf()<br />
<br />
iio_buffer_enqueue_dmabuf() allocates a struct iio_dma_fence (104 bytes,<br />
kmalloc-128) via kmalloc_obj()+dma_fence_init(), which sets the initial<br />
kref to 1. It then calls dma_resv_add_fence() which takes a second<br />
reference (kref=2), and stores a raw pointer in block->fence.<br />
<br />
On the success path the function returns without calling dma_fence_put()<br />
to release the initial reference, so every buffer enqueue permanently<br />
leaks one kmalloc-128 allocation.<br />
<br />
The iio_buffer_cleanup() work item only releases the temporary reference<br />
taken during completion signalling by iio_buffer_signal_dmabuf_done();<br />
the initial reference from dma_fence_init() is never released.<br />
<br />
With four iio_rwdev instances at 240kHz and 512 samples per buffer,<br />
this produces ~1875 kmalloc-128 allocations per second matching the<br />
observed slab growth exactly. A test with ftrace confirmed that the<br />
dma_fence_destroy event was never triggered.<br />
<br />
Fix by calling dma_fence_put() after dma_resv_add_fence(), transferring<br />
ownership of the fence to the DMA reservation object. The DMA fence then<br />
gets properly discarded after being signalled.
