Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-25 09:31 – Updated: 2026-07-02 21:32

Details

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

tee: shm: fix shm leak in register_shm_helper()

register_shm_helper() allocates shm before calling iov_iter_npages(). If iov_iter_npages() returns 0, the function jumps to err_ctx_put and leaks shm.

This can be triggered by TEE_IOC_SHM_REGISTER with struct tee_ioctl_shm_register_data where length is 0.

Jump to err_free_shm instead.

Severity

5.5 (Medium)


                  
                    CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
