Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
usb: gadget: f_fs: Fix DMA fence leak<br />
<br />
In ffs_dmabuf_transfer(), a ffs_dma_fence object is kmalloc&#39;d, with the<br />
underlying dma_fence later initialized by dma_fence_init(), which sets<br />
its kref counter to 1. Then, dma_resv_add_fence() gets a second<br />
reference, and a pointer to the ffs_dma_fence is passed as the<br />
usb_request&#39;s "context" field.<br />
<br />
The dma-resv mechanism will manage the second reference, but the first<br />
reference is never properly released; the ffs_dmabuf_cleanup() function<br />
decreases the reference count, but only to balance with the reference<br />
grab in ffs_dmabuf_signal_done().<br />
<br />
The code will then slowly leak memory as more ffs_dma_fence objects are<br />
created without being ever freed.<br />
<br />
Address this issue by transferring ownership of the fence to the DMA<br />
reservation object, by calling dma_fence_put() right after<br />
dma_resv_add_fence(). The ffs_dma_fence then gets properly discarded<br />
after being signalled.
