[PATCH 4.4 21/70] net/x25: Fix x25_neigh refcnt leak when receiving frame

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

 



From: Xiyu Yang <xiyuyang19@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit f35d12971b4d814cdb2f659d76b42f0c545270b6 ]

x25_lapb_receive_frame() invokes x25_get_neigh(), which returns a
reference of the specified x25_neigh object to "nb" with increased
refcnt.

When x25_lapb_receive_frame() returns, local variable "nb" becomes
invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced.

The reference counting issue happens in one path of
x25_lapb_receive_frame(). When pskb_may_pull() returns false, the
function forgets to decrease the refcnt increased by x25_get_neigh(),
causing a refcnt leak.

Fix this issue by calling x25_neigh_put() when pskb_may_pull() returns
false.
