DescriptionNVD

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

usb: gadget: f_fs: Fix DMA fence leak

In ffs_dmabuf_transfer(), a ffs_dma_fence object is kmalloc'd, with the underlying dma_fence later initialized by dma_fence_init(), which sets its kref counter to 1. Then, dma_resv_add_fence() gets a second reference, and a pointer to the ffs_dma_fence is passed as the usb_request's "context" field.

The dma-resv mechanism will manage the second reference, but the first reference is never properly released; the ffs_dmabuf_cleanup() function decreases the reference count, but only to balance with the reference grab in ffs_dmabuf_signal_done().

The code will then slowly leak memory as more ffs_dma_fence objects are created without being ever freed.

Address this issue by transferring ownership of the fence to the DMA reservation object, by calling dma_fence_put() right after dma_resv_add_fence(). The ffs_dma_fence then gets properly discarded after being signalled.

AnalysisAI

Kernel memory leak in the Linux USB gadget FunctionFS (f_fs) subsystem allows a local low-privileged user to slowly exhaust kernel memory by repeatedly triggering DMA buffer transfers via the ffs_dmabuf_transfer() code path. Affected kernels span from the commit introducing DMA buffer sharing (7b07a2a7ca02) through versions prior to 6.12.96, 7.1.4, and 7.2-rc3. The root cause is a missing dma_fence_put() call after dma_resv_add_fence(), leaving the initial kref permanently outstanding and causing ffs_dma_fence objects to accumulate without ever being freed. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.

Technical ContextAI

The vulnerability resides in the Linux kernel's USB gadget FunctionFS (f_fs) subsystem within the DMA buffer sharing implementation in ffs_dmabuf_transfer(). DMA fences (struct dma_fence) use kernel reference counting (kref) to govern object lifetimes: dma_fence_init() sets kref to 1, and dma_resv_add_fence() acquires a second reference on behalf of the DMA reservation object. The bug, classified as CWE-401 (Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime), is that the original reference is never dropped after ownership is transferred to the reservation object. The ffs_dmabuf_cleanup() function only balances the grab performed by ffs_dmabuf_signal_done(), so the initial reference remains permanently outstanding. The minimal one-line fix - inserting dma_fence_put() immediately after dma_resv_add_fence() - correctly transfers ownership so the reservation object becomes the sole holder and releases the fence upon signaling. CPE: cpe:2.3:a:linux:linux:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*.

RemediationAI

Upgrade to a patched Linux kernel version: 6.12.96, 7.1.4, or 7.2-rc3 or later, per the upstream fix commits at git.kernel.org/stable/c/b7475b2dce5e121e687280ba5732ccefe77ffd2f, git.kernel.org/stable/c/0cae3d6109427c455bad0a18dfb3e2a91657e38a, git.kernel.org/stable/c/baa6b6068a3f2bf2ed525a1cb37975905dadc658, and git.kernel.org/stable/c/e086c16962a1b0142e2675610e9c06fcfcd4c3a8. On systems where patching is not immediately possible, the attack surface can be fully eliminated by preventing the usb_f_fs kernel module from loading (blacklist usb_f_fs in /etc/modprobe.d/) or by restricting access to the FunctionFS mount point, with the trade-off of disabling USB gadget functionality. Systems that do not use USB gadget mode at all require no action beyond routine kernel maintenance.
