Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
hfs: ensure sb->s_fs_info is always cleaned up<br />
<br />
When hfs was converted to the new mount api a bug was introduced by<br />
changing the allocation pattern of sb->s_fs_info. If setup_bdev_super()<br />
fails after a new superblock has been allocated by sget_fc(), but before<br />
hfs_fill_super() takes ownership of the filesystem-specific s_fs_info<br />
data it was leaked.<br />
<br />
Fix this by freeing sb->s_fs_info in hfs_kill_super().
