Subject: CVE-2026-53213: drm/vc4: fix krealloc() memory leak
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 09:41:01 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2026062503-CVE-2026-53213-e52f@gregkh> (raw)

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@kernel.org>

Description
===========

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

drm/vc4: fix krealloc() memory leak

Don't just overwrite the original pointer passed to krealloc()
with its return value without checking latter:

    MEM = krealloc(MEM, SZ, GFP);

If krealloc() returns NULL, that erases the pointer
to the still allocated memory, hence leaks this memory.
Instead, use a temporary variable, check it's not NULL
and only then assign it to the original pointer:

    TMP = krealloc(MEM, SZ, GFP);
    if (!TMP) return;
    MEM = TMP;

While on it, use krealloc_array().

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-53213 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:
