Subject: [PATCH v2 5/7] KVM: s390: Fix old_data leak in guest debug error path
Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2026 18:24:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260804162435.28617-6-borntraeger@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260804162435.28617-1-borntraeger@linux.ibm.com>
__import_wp_info() allocates a per-watchpoint old_data buffer to back up
the original guest memory contents. If a later watchpoint of the same
KVM_SET_GUEST_DEBUG request fails to import, kvm_s390_import_bp_data()
jumps to the error label, which frees the wp_info array but not the
old_data buffers of the entries that were imported successfully. Up to
MAX_BP_COUNT - 1 buffers of up to MAX_WP_SIZE bytes are leaked per failed
request, and the request can be repeated.
Create error handling for cleaning up all created old_data memory
areas.
Fixes: 27291e2165b6 ("KVM: s390: hardware support for guest debugging")
