From: Wenwen Wang <wenwen@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 15a78ba1844a8e052c1226f930133de4cef4e7ad ] In compat_do_replace(), a temporary buffer is allocated through vmalloc() to hold entries copied from the user space. The buffer address is firstly saved to 'newinfo->entries', and later on assigned to 'entries_tmp'. Then the entries in this temporary buffer is copied to the internal kernel structure through compat_copy_entries(). If this copy process fails, compat_do_replace() should be terminated. However, the allocated temporary buffer is not freed on this path, leading to a memory leak. To fix the bug, free the buffer before returning from compat_do_replace().
