If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Tue 12 May 2020 10:55:24 AM CEST From: Xiyu Yang <xiyuyang19@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2020 20:54:37 +0800 Subject: net/tls: Fix sk_psock refcnt leak in bpf_exec_tx_verdict() From: Xiyu Yang <xiyuyang19@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 095f5614bfe16e5b3e191b34ea41b10d6fdd4ced ] bpf_exec_tx_verdict() invokes sk_psock_get(), which returns a reference of the specified sk_psock object to "psock" with increased refcnt. When bpf_exec_tx_verdict() returns, local variable "psock" becomes invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced. The reference counting issue happens in one exception handling path of bpf_exec_tx_verdict(). When "policy" equals to NULL but "psock" is not NULL, the function forgets to decrease the refcnt increased by sk_psock_get(), causing a refcnt leak. Fix this issue by calling sk_psock_put() on this error path before bpf_exec_tx_verdict() returns.
