This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled SUNRPC: fix a memleak in gss_import_v2_context to the 6.6-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: sunrpc-fix-a-memleak-in-gss_import_v2_context.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.6 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 6ab3e5daa0b123fb782768a857f91a9fed70005c Author: Zhipeng Lu <alexious@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Dec 24 16:20:33 2023 +0800 SUNRPC: fix a memleak in gss_import_v2_context [ Upstream commit e67b652d8e8591d3b1e569dbcdfcee15993e91fa ] The ctx->mech_used.data allocated by kmemdup is not freed in neither gss_import_v2_context nor it only caller gss_krb5_import_sec_context, which frees ctx on error. Thus, this patch reform the last call of gss_import_v2_context to the gss_krb5_import_ctx_v2, preventing the memleak while keepping the return formation.
