In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ena: fix MMIO read buffer leak on probe failure
ena device init() initializes the MMIO read mechanism with
ena com mmio reg read request init(), which allocates a coherent DMA
buffer for MMIO read responses.
The normal removal path releases this buffer through
ena com mmio reg read request destroy(). However, if ena probe() fails
after ena device init() succeeds, the error path destroys the admin
resources and eventually frees ena dev without destroying the MMIO read
request, leaving the coherent DMA buffer allocated.
Call ena com mmio reg read request destroy() in the probe error path
before releasing the remaining device resources.
This issue was found by manual code inspection.
