CVE-2026-45870

Estado: AnalizadaMedia (5.5)—

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

SUNRPC: auth_gss: fix memory leaks in XDR decoding error paths

The gssx_dec_ctx(), gssx_dec_status(), and gssx_dec_name() functions allocate memory via gssx_dec_buffer(), which calls kmemdup(). When a subsequent decode operation fails, these functions return immediately without freeing previously allocated buffers, causing memory leaks.

The leak in gssx_dec_ctx() is particularly relevant because the caller (gssp_accept_sec_context_upcall) initializes several buffer length fields to non-zero values, resulting in memory allocation:

If, for example, gssx_dec_name() succeeds for src_name but fails for targ_name, the memory allocated for exported_context_token, mech, and src_name.display_name remains unreferenced and cannot be reclaimed.

Add error handling with goto-based cleanup to free any previously allocated buffers before returning an error.
