This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ima: Free IMA measurement buffer on error to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: ima-free-ima-measurement-buffer-on-error.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 8d2515c848bcd31882335a36701a12b63801ebfe Author: Lakshmi Ramasubramanian <nramas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Feb 4 09:49:50 2021 -0800 ima: Free IMA measurement buffer on error [ Upstream commit 6d14c6517885fa68524238787420511b87d671df ] IMA allocates kernel virtual memory to carry forward the measurement list, from the current kernel to the next kernel on kexec system call, in ima_add_kexec_buffer() function. In error code paths this memory is not freed resulting in memory leak. Free the memory allocated for the IMA measurement list in the error code paths in ima_add_kexec_buffer() function.
