Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-06-09 13:01:45 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tun: free page on build_skb failure in tun_xdp_one()

When build_skb() fails in tun_xdp_one(), the function sets ret to
-ENOMEM and jumps to the out label, which returns without freeing the
page that vhost_net_build_xdp() allocated for the frame. As with the
short-frame rejection path, tun_sendmsg() discards the per-buffer error
and still returns total_len, so vhost_tx_batch() takes the success path
and never frees the page. Each build_skb() failure in a batch leaks one
page-frag chunk.

Free the page before taking the error path, matching the put_page() the
other error exits of tun_xdp_one() already perform.
