Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
binder: fix memleak of proc->delivered_freeze<br />
<br />
If a freeze notification is cleared with BC_CLEAR_FREEZE_NOTIFICATION<br />
before calling binder_freeze_notification_done(), then it is detached<br />
from its reference (e.g. ref->freeze) but the work remains queued in<br />
proc->delivered_freeze. This leads to a memory leak when the process<br />
exits as any pending entries in proc->delivered_freeze are not freed:<br />
<br />
unreferenced object 0xffff38e8cfa36180 (size 64):<br />
comm "binder-util", pid 655, jiffies 4294936641<br />
hex dump (first 32 bytes):<br />

0b 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 3c 1f 4b 00 00 00 00 00 ........delivered_freeze are freed during binder_deferred_release().
