Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: rds: fix memory leak in rds_recvmsg Syzbot reported memory leak in rds. The problem
was in unputted refcount in case of error. int rds_recvmsg(struct socket *sock, struct msghdr *msg, size_t size, int msg_flags)
{
... if (!rds_next_incoming(rs, &inc)) { ... } After this "if" inc refcount incremented and if (rds_cmsg_recv(inc, msg, rs)) { ret = -EFAULT; goto out; }
...
out: return ret;
} in case of rds_cmsg_recv() fail the refcount won't be
decremented. And it's easy to see from ftrace log, that
rds_inc_addref() don't have rds_inc_put() pair in
rds_recvmsg() after rds_cmsg_recv() 1) | rds_recvmsg() { 1) 3.721 us | rds_inc_addref(); 1) 3.853 us | rds_message_inc_copy_to_user(); 1) + 10.395 us | rds_cmsg_recv(); 1) + 34.260 us | }

En el kernel de Linux se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: net:rds: corrige pérdida de memoria en rds_recvmsg. Syzbot informó pérdida de memoria en rds. El problema estaba en el recuento no puesto en caso de error. int rds_recvmsg(struct socket *sock, struct msghdr *msg, size_t size, int msg_flags) { ... if (!rds_next_incoming(rs, &inc)) { ... } Después de esto "if" inc refcount incrementado y if (rds_cmsg_recv (inc, mensaje, rs)) { ret = -EFAULT; salir; } ... fuera: devolver ret; } en caso de que rds_cmsg_recv() falle, el recuento no disminuirá. Y es fácil ver en el registro de ftrace que rds_inc_addref() no tiene el par rds_inc_put() en rds_recvmsg() después de rds_cmsg_recv() 1) | rds_recvmsg() { 1) 3.721 us| rds_inc_addref(); 1) 3.853 us| rds_message_inc_copy_to_user(); 1) + 10.395 us| rds_cmsg_recv(); 1) + 34.260 us| }
