Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
atm: Revert atm_account_tx() if copy_from_iter_full() fails.<br />
<br />
In vcc_sendmsg(), we account skb->truesize to sk->sk_wmem_alloc by<br />
atm_account_tx().<br />
<br />
It is expected to be reverted by atm_pop_raw() later called by<br />
vcc->dev->ops->send(vcc, skb).<br />
<br />
However, vcc_sendmsg() misses the same revert when copy_from_iter_full()<br />
fails, and then we will leak a socket.<br />
<br />
Let&#39;s factorise the revert part as atm_return_tx() and call it in<br />
the failure path.<br />
<br />
Note that the corresponding sk_wmem_alloc operation can be found in<br />
alloc_tx() as of the blamed commit.<br />
<br />
$ git blame -L:alloc_tx net/atm/common.c c55fa3cccbc2c~
