In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

cachefiles: fix memory leak in cachefiles_add_cache()

The following memory leak was reported after unbinding /dev/cachefiles:

==================================================================

Put the reference count of cache_cred in cachefiles_daemon_unbind() to
fix the problem. And also put cache_cred in cachefiles_add_cache() error
branch to avoid memory leaks.

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: cachefiles: corrige la pérdida de memoria en cachefiles_add_cache() Se informó la siguiente pérdida de memoria después de desvincular /dev/cachefiles: ================= ==================================================== objeto sin referencia 0xffff9b674176e3c0 (tamaño 192): comm "cachefilesd2", pid 680, jiffies 4294881224 volcado hexadecimal (primeros 32 bytes): 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........ ........ 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ retroceso (crc ea38a44b): [ ] kmem_cache_alloc+0x2d5/0x370 [] prepare_creds+0x26/0x2e0 [] cachefiles_determine_cache_security+0x1f/0x120 [] cachefiles_add_cache+0x13c/0x 3a0 [] cachefiles_daemon_write+0x146/0x1c0 [ ] vfs_write+0xcb/0x520 [] ksys_write+0x69/0xf0 [] do_syscall_64+0x72/0x140 [] Entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6e/0x76 =============== ==================================================== == Coloque el recuento de referencias de cache_cred en cachefiles_daemon_unbind() para solucionar el problema. Y también coloque cache_cred en la rama de error cachefiles_add_cache() para evitar pérdidas de memoria.
