Short explanation
A persistent memory leak vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel binder subsystem due to leaked file descriptor fixups during TF_UPDATE_TXN supersedes.
This vulnerability can cause struct file objects to be permanently pinned in memory, accumulating until file-max exhaustion.
What should be done?
- Follow vendor advisories
- Apply the relevant kernel updates

Show the technical text from the sources
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: binder: fix leaked fd fixups on TF_UPDATE_TXN supersede When a TF_UPDATE_TXN transaction supersedes a pending async transaction in a frozen process, the outdated transaction is freed with kfree() directly. This skips binder_free_txn_fixups(), leaking all binder_txn_fd_fixup entries and their fget()'d struct file references. The leaked file refcounts never reach zero, so the struct file objects are permanently pinned in memory. They survive process exit and accumulate across invocations until file-max exhaustion. Every other transaction cleanup path (binder_free_transaction(), binder_transaction() error paths, binder_release_work()) correctly calls binder_free_txn_fixups(). Add the missing call before kfree() in the t_outdated cleanup block.
