CVE-2025-71191 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dmaengine: at_hdmac: fix device leak on of_dma_xlate() Make sure to drop the reference taken when looking up the DMA platform device during of_dma_xlate() when releasing channel resources. Note that commit 3832b78b3ec2 ("dmaengine: at_hdmac: add missing put_device() call in at_dma_xlate()") fixed the leak in a couple of error paths but the reference is still leaking on successful allocation.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's DMA engine, specifically within the at_hdmac driver, has been addressed. The issue involved a memory leak caused by not releasing a reference to the DMA platform device during the 'of_dma_xlate()' function, which is used for channel resource management. Although a previous commit had fixed the leak in certain error scenarios, the problem persisted in cases of successful allocations. This vulnerability affects the Linux kernel stable tree.
Users can upgrade to the latest version of the Linux kernel stable tree, where this vulnerability has been fixed. Instructions for downloading the patched version are available on the Linux kernel official website.
