Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dmaengine: qcom: gpi: Fix memory leak in gpi_peripheral_config() Fix a memory leak in gpi_peripheral_config() where the original memory pointed to by gchan->config could be lost if krealloc() fails. The issue occurs when: 1. gchan->config points to previously allocated memory 2. krealloc() fails and returns NULL 3. The function directly assigns NULL to gchan->config, losing the reference to the original memory 4. The original memory becomes unreachable and cannot be freed Fix this by using a temporary variable to hold the krealloc() result and only updating gchan->config when the allocation succeeds. Found via static analysis and code review.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 5.11.1 < 5.15.199) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.162) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.122) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.12.67) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.18.7) • linux linux kernel 5.11 • linux linux kernel 6.19
