In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
octeontx2-pf: fix double free in rvu rep rsrc init()
rvu rep rsrc init() allocates queue memory before calling otx2 init hw resources(). When hardware resource setup fails, otx2 init hw resources() already unwinds the partially initialized SQ, CQ, and aura state before returning an error. The representor error path then calls otx2 free hw resources() again and can free the same resources a second time.
Fix this by splitting the cleanup labels so that a failure from otx2 init hw resources() only releases queue memory. Keep the otx2 free hw resources() call for failures that happen after hardware resource initialization completed successfully.
The bug was first flagged by an experimental analysis tool we are developing for kernel memory-management bugs while analyzing v6.13-rc1. The tool is still under development and is not yet publicly available. Manual inspection confirms that the bug is still present in v7.1-rc3.
Runtime validation was not performed because reproducing this path requires OcteonTX2 representor hardware.
