4.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: WANG Cong <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit c0338aff2260ea6c092806312dbb154cec07a242 ] Dmitry reported a double free on kcm socket, which could be easily reproduced by: #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/syscall.h> int main() { int fd = syscall(SYS_socket, 0x29ul, 0x5ul, 0x0ul, 0, 0, 0); syscall(SYS_ioctl, fd, 0x89e2ul, 0x20a98000ul, 0, 0, 0); return 0; } This is because on the error path, after we install the new socket file, we call sock_release() to clean up the socket, which leaves the fd pointing to a freed socket. Fix this by calling sys_close() on that fd directly.
