However, hsr_del_port() currently\ndoes not delete the VLAN IDs that were synced to the slave device by HSR.\n\nAs a result, the slave device retains a refcount on VID 0 (and any other\nsynced VLANs). When the slave device is destroyed, its vlan_info /\nvlan_vid_info structure remains allocated, leading to a memory leak.\n\nFix this by calling vlan_vids_del_by_dev(port->dev, master->dev) in\nhsr_del_port() before unlinking slave A or slave B ports, matching the\npropagation logic in hsr_ndo_vlan_rx_add_vid() / hsr_ndo_vlan_rx_kill_vid()\nand the cleanup behavior in bonding and team drivers."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["net/hsr/hsr_slave.c"],"versions":[{"version":"1100242709d5644856131a9dd25d32672ebe7357","lessThan":"ccc822e9e4f09a6c2ca73ad5334570441947f94f","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"a2accc07bdcfb0c7ab2cacdca6a1fe8267816efa","lessThan":"79ff0547676acdeceda445c3fce4071b0a887b70","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"72dbae1f2f2159395089405c6c54632f2613f1be","lessThan":"f72c312af6c7897ab0f8a2b5a63f917a207a4143","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"c707d2c5541d2bb94131968ad5dfeb06427a1dba","lessThan":"21d48408479a17eb65568a765930adea37e4d804","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"1a8a63a5305e95519de6f941922dfcd8179f82e5","lessThan":"b5ded444621b6180df9f3d4e07045fc1fc1e8cd9","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"1a8a63a5305e95519de6f941922dfcd8179f82e5","lessThan":"ae995b8002d3af134560a706c0e111a89e26317c","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"1a8a63a5305e95519de6f941922dfcd8179f82e5","lessThan":"dcf15eaf5641812f1cfc5e96537380132a7da89d","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"5.15.194","lessThan":"5.15.216","status":"affected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.153","lessThan":"6.1.183","status":"affected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.107","lessThan":"6.6.148","status":"affected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.48","lessThan":"6.12.101","status":"affected","versionType":"semver"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["net/hsr/hsr_slave.c"],"versions":[{"version":"6.13","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.13","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.15.216","lessThanOrEqual":"5.15.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.183","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.148","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.101","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.42","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.1.6","lessThanOrEqual":"7.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.15.194","versionEndExcluding":"5.15.216"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.1.153","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.183"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.6.107","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.148"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.12.48","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.101"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.13","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.42"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.13","versionEndExcluding":"7.1.6"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.13","versionEndExcluding":"7.2"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ccc822e9e4f09a6c2ca73ad5334570441947f94f"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/79ff0547676acdeceda445c3fce4071b0a887b70"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f72c312af6c7897ab0f8a2b5a63f917a207a4143"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/21d48408479a17eb65568a765930adea37e4d804"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b5ded444621b6180df9f3d4e07045fc1fc1e8cd9"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ae995b8002d3af134560a706c0e111a89e26317c"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dcf15eaf5641812f1cfc5e96537380132a7da89d"}],"title":"net: hsr: fix memory leak on slave unregistration by removing synced VLANs","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
