NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libperf-devel package and not the libperf-devel package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

nvme-fc: release admin tagset if init fails

nvme_fabrics creates an NVMe/FC controller in following path:

nvmf_dev_write()
  -> nvmf_create_ctrl()
    -> nvme_fc_create_ctrl()
      -> nvme_fc_init_ctrl()

nvme_fc_init_ctrl() allocates the admin blk-mq resources right after nvme_add_ctrl() succeeds. If any of the subsequent steps fail (changing the controller state, scheduling connect work, etc.), we jump to the fail_ctrl path, which tears down the controller references but never frees the admin queue/tag set. The leaked blk-mq allocations match the kmemleak report seen during blktests nvme/fc.

Check ctrl->ctrl.admin_tagset in the fail_ctrl path and call nvme_remove_admin_tag_set() when it is set so that all admin queue allocations are reclaimed whenever controller setup aborts.
