Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> dma-buf/dma-resv: Stop leaking on krealloc() failure<br /> <br /> Currently dma_resv_get_fences() will leak the previously<br /> allocated array if the fence iteration got restarted and<br /> the krealloc_array() fails.<br /> <br /> Free the old array by hand, and make sure we still clear<br /> the returned *fences so the caller won&amp;#39;t end up accessing<br /> freed memory. Some (but not all) of the callers of<br /> dma_resv_get_fences() seem to still trawl through the<br /> array even when dma_resv_get_fences() failed. And let&amp;#39;s<br /> zero out *num_fences as well for good measure.
