DescriptionNVD

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

crypto: nx - fix bounce buffer leaks in nx842_crypto_{alloc,free}_ctx

The bounce buffers are allocated with __get_free_pages() using BOUNCE_BUFFER_ORDER (order 2 = 4 pages), but both the allocation error path and nx842_crypto_free_ctx() release the buffers with free_page(). Use free_pages() with the matching order instead.

AnalysisAI

Improper memory deallocation in the Linux kernel's NX-842 hardware compression crypto driver (nx842_crypto_alloc_ctx/free_ctx) causes bounce buffers allocated as order-2 (4 pages) to be released with single-page free_page() calls, leaking three of every four pages. The flaw is local-only with no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS (0.02%, 5th percentile) reflects negligible mass-exploitation interest. Note that the NVD CVSS (7.8, C:H/I:H/A:H) appears overstated for what the upstream commit explicitly describes as a memory leak rather than corruption.
