[PATCH 1/2] irda: Fix memory leak caused by repeated binds of irda socket

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

 



The irda_bind() function allocates memory for self->ias_obj without
checking to see if the socket is already bound. A userspace process
could repeatedly bind the socket, have each new object added into the
LM-IAS database, and lose the reference to the old object assigned to
the socket to exhaust memory resources. This patch errors out of the
bind operation when self->ias_obj is already assigned.

CVE-2018-6554

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
