Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> rxrpc: Fix key reference count leak from call-&gt;key<br /> <br /> When creating a client call in rxrpc_alloc_client_call(), the code obtains<br /> a reference to the key. This is never cleaned up and gets leaked when the<br /> call is destroyed.<br /> <br /> Fix this by freeing call-&gt;key in rxrpc_destroy_call().<br /> <br /> Before the patch, it shows the key reference counter elevated:<br /> <br /> $ cat /proc/keys | grep afs@54321<br /> 1bffe9cd I--Q--i 8053480 4169w 3b010000 1000 1000 rxrpc afs@54321: ka<br /> $<br /> <br /> After the patch, the invalidated key is removed when the code exits:<br /> <br /> $ cat /proc/keys | grep afs@54321<br /> $
