Subject: CVE-2025-39870: dmaengine: idxd: Fix double free in idxd_setup_wqs()
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: idxd: Fix double free in idxd_setup_wqs()
The clean up in idxd_setup_wqs() has had a couple bugs because the error
handling is a bit subtle. It's simpler to just re-write it in a cleaner
way. The issues here are:
1) If "idxd->max_wqs" is <= 0 then we call put_device(conf_dev) when
"conf_dev" hasn't been initialized.
2) If kzalloc_node() fails then again "conf_dev" is invalid. It's
either uninitialized or it points to the "conf_dev" from the
previous iteration so it leads to a double free.
It's better to free partial loop iterations within the loop and then
the unwinding at the end can handle whole loop iterations. I also
renamed the labels to describe what the goto does and not where the goto
was located.
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2025-39870 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
