Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-12-27 16:04:49 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

dccp: Fix memory leak in dccp_feat_change_recv

If dccp_feat_push_confirm() fails after new value for SP feature was accepted
without reconciliation ('entry == NULL' branch), memory allocated for that value
with dccp_feat_clone_sp_val() is never freed.

Here is the kmemleak stack for this:

unreferenced object 0xffff88801d4ab488 (size 8):
  comm "syz-executor310", pid 1127, jiffies 4295085598 (age 41.666s)
  hex dump (first 8 bytes):
    01 b4 4a 1d 80 88 ff ff                          ..J.....

Clean up the allocated memory in case of dccp_feat_push_confirm() failure
and bail out with an error reset code.
