      <title>CVE-2026-72006 — net/mlx5: free mlx5_st_idx_data on final dealloc</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-72006</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;net/mlx5: free mlx5_st_idx_data on final dealloc&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Workloads that repeatedly allocate and release mkeys carrying TPH
steering-tag hints (e.g. churning RDMA MRs) leak one
struct mlx5_st_idx_data per cycle; kmemleak flags it as unreferenced
and the kmalloc slab grows over time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When the last reference to an ST table entry is dropped,
mlx5_st_dealloc_index() removed the entry from idx_xa but the backing
mlx5_st_idx_data allocation was never freed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Free idx_data after the xa_erase() so the lifetime of the bookkeeping
struct matches the lifetime of the ST entry it tracks.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
