[added to the 3.18 stable tree] crypto: af_alg - Fix socket double-free when accept fails

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Herbert Xu <herbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

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

[ Upstream commit a383292c86663bbc31ac62cc0c04fc77504636a6 ]

When we fail an accept(2) call we will end up freeing the socket
twice, once due to the direct sk_free call and once again through
newsock.

This patch fixes this by removing the sk_free call.
