{"id":"CVE-2026-45950","summary":"crypto: starfive - Fix memory leak in starfive_aes_aead_do_one_req()","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ncrypto: starfive - Fix memory leak in starfive_aes_aead_do_one_req()\n\nThe starfive_aes_aead_do_one_req() function allocates rctx-\u003eadata with\nkzalloc() but fails to free it if sg_copy_to_buffer() or\nstarfive_aes_hw_init() fails, which lead to memory leaks.\n\nSince rctx-\u003eadata is unconditionally freed after the write_adata\noperations, ensure consistent cleanup by freeing the allocation in these\nearlier error paths as well.\n\nCompile tested only. Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool\nand code review.","modified":"2026-07-08T08:09:40.588264616Z","published":"2026-05-27T12:18:06.482Z","database_specific":{"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/45xxx/CVE-2026-45950.json","cna_assigner":"Linux"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/38d80307decc1132626a30e2a62af734630ecca5"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4869d0e4e48a5301b267d359b2561c4080791a55"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5f2c964a058581e1557c32d5de651c67a80438a7"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ccb679fdae2e62ed92fd9acb25ed809c0226fcc6"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2026/45xxx/CVE-2026-45950.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-45950"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","events":[{"introduced":"7467147ef9bf42d1ea5b3314c7a05cd542b3518e"},{"fixed":"38d80307decc1132626a30e2a62af734630ecca5"},{"fixed":"4869d0e4e48a5301b267d359b2561c4080791a55"},{"fixed":"5f2c964a058581e1557c32d5de651c67a80438a7"},{"fixed":"ccb679fdae2e62ed92fd9acb25ed809c0226fcc6"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-45950.json"}},{"package":{"name":"Kernel","ecosystem":"Linux"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.10.0"},{"fixed":"6.12.75"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.13.0"},{"fixed":"6.18.14"}]},{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"6.19.0"},{"fixed":"6.19.4"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2026-45950.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
