fbdev: tridentfb: fix potential memory leak in trident_pci_probe()

2026-07-24T14:11:28+00:00

commit 7a35ec619d9af8ee128320975c1252b8ad65f1e8 upstream. In trident_pci_probe(), the memory allocated for modelist using fb_videomode_to_modelist() is not freed in subsequent error paths. Fix that by calling fb_destroy_modelist().

fbdev: nvidia: fix potential memory leak in nvidiafb_probe()

2026-07-24T14:11:28+00:00

commit 85f5e38c162bdf9dbbe197275d416402712f3707 upstream. In nvidiafb_probe(), the memory allocated for modelist in nvidia_set_fbinfo() is not freed in the subsequent error paths. Fix that by calling fb_destroy_modelist().

fbdev: vesafb: fix memory leak in vesafb_probe()

2026-07-24T14:11:28+00:00

commit b15d708995c01bbffe7dcd634a31959f6805bed3 upstream. Since commit 73ce73c30ba9 ("fbdev: Transfer video= option strings to caller; clarify ownership") the string returned from fb_get_options() is expected to be freed by the caller. But the string is not freed in vesafb_probe(). Fix that by freeing the option string after setup.

commit 6fcca16a2b19c37f60693c56cbc0c923364ff3ef upstream. The memory allocated for modelist in fb_videomode_to_modelist() is not freed in the subsequent error path.

fbdev: tdfxfb: fix potential memory leak in tdfxfb_probe()

2026-07-24T14:11:28+00:00

commit bb019d755366cc3e777a12d4bf457ff289837370 upstream. In tdfxfb_probe(), the memory allocated for modelist using fb_videomode_to_modelist() when CONFIG_FB_3DFX_I2C is defined, is not freed in the subsequent error paths. Fix that by calling fb_destroy_modelist().

fbdev: uvesafb: fix potential memory leak in uvesafb_probe()

2026-07-24T14:11:28+00:00

commit 033e56fed09047ee63072e9f58789f40c1c7079d upstream. Due to an incorrect goto label, memory allocated for modedb and modelist in uvesafb_vbe_init() is not freed in some error paths. Fix this by updating the goto label.

commit 5936063409af230a2c88b8700c47b89a19fd70b5 upstream. In i740fb_probe(), the memory allocated in fb_videomode_to_modelist() for modelist is not freed in the error paths.

fbdev: radeon: fix potential memory leak in radeonfb_pci_register()

2026-07-24T14:11:27+00:00

commit df8c1101c9a08859da612b5d0a08d55d475522c6 upstream. The function radeonfb_pci_register() allocates memory for modelist (by calling radeon_check_modes() which calls fb_add_videomode()). The memory is appended to info->modelist, but is not freed in subsequent error paths. Fix this by calling fb_destroy_modelist().
