| Subject: CVE-2025-37874: net: ngbe: fix memory leak in ngbe_probe() error path |
| |
| Description |
| =========== |
| |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: |
| |
| net: ngbe: fix memory leak in ngbe_probe() error path |
| |
| When ngbe_sw_init() is called, memory is allocated for wx->rss_key |
| in wx_init_rss_key(). However, in ngbe_probe() function, the subsequent |
| error paths after ngbe_sw_init() don't free the rss_key. Fix that by |
| freeing it in error path along with wx->mac_table. |
| |
| Also change the label to which execution jumps when ngbe_sw_init() |
| fails, because otherwise, it could lead to a double free for rss_key, |
| when the mac_table allocation fails in wx_sw_init(). |
| |
| The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2025-37874 to this issue. |

| Mitigation |
| ========== |
| |
| The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest |
| stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual |
| changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel |
| release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or |
| supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to |
| the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this |
| issue can be found at these commits: |
| https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7c2b66a31c7a4866400f7e6fb43cb32021bfca01 |
