Description OSIDB Bzimport 2024-12-27 14:01:54 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

s390/iucv: MSG_PEEK causes memory leak in iucv_sock_destruct()

Passing MSG_PEEK flag to skb_recv_datagram() increments skb refcount
(skb->users) and iucv_sock_recvmsg() does not decrement skb refcount
at exit.
This results in skb memory leak in skb_queue_purge() and WARN_ON in
iucv_sock_destruct() during socket close. To fix this decrease
skb refcount by one if MSG_PEEK is set in order to prevent memory
leak and WARN_ON.
