Syzbot reported memory leak in kcm_sendmsg()[1]. The problem was in non-freed frag_list in case of error. In the while loop: if (head == skb) skb_shinfo(head)->frag_list = tskb; else skb->next = tskb; frag_list filled with skbs, but nothing was freeing them. backtrace: [<0000000094c02615>] __alloc_skb+0x5e/0x250 net/core/skbuff.c:198 [<00000000e5386cbd>] alloc_skb include/linux/skbuff.h:1083 [inline] [<00000000e5386cbd>] kcm_sendmsg+0x3b6/0xa50 net/kcm/kcmsock.c:967 [1] [<00000000f1613a8a>] sock_sendmsg_nosec net/socket.c:652 [inline] [<00000000f1613a8a>] sock_sendmsg+0x4c/0x60 net/socket.c:672 Reported-and-tested-by: syzbot+b039f5699bd82e1fb011@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fixes: ab7ac4eb9832 ("kcm: Kernel Connection Multiplexor module") Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Pavel Skripkin <paskripkin@xxxxxxxxx> --- net/kcm/kcmsock.c | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/net/kcm/kcmsock.c b/net/kcm/kcmsock.c index 6201965bd822..1c572c8daced 100644 --- a/net/kcm/kcmsock.c +++ b/net/kcm/kcmsock.c @@ -1066,6 +1066,11 @@ static int kcm_sendmsg(struct socket *sock, struct msghdr *msg, size_t len) goto partial_message; } + if (skb_has_frag_list(head)) { + kfree_skb_list(skb_shinfo(head)->frag_list); + skb_shinfo(head)->frag_list = NULL; + } + if (head != kcm->seq_skb) kfree_skb(head); -- 2.31.1
