Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
nfsd: Fix cred ref leak in nfsd_nl_threads_set_doit().<br />
<br />
syzbot reported memory leak of struct cred. [0]<br />
<br />
nfsd_nl_threads_set_doit() passes get_current_cred() to<br />
nfsd_svc(), but put_cred() is not called after that.<br />
<br />
The cred is finally passed down to _svc_xprt_create(),<br />
which calls get_cred() with the cred for struct svc_xprt.<br />
<br />
The ownership of the refcount by get_current_cred() is not<br />
transferred to anywhere and is just leaked.<br />
<br />
nfsd_svc() is also called from write_threads(), but it does<br />
not bump file->f_cred there.<br />
<br />
nfsd_nl_threads_set_doit() is called from sendmsg() and<br />
current->cred does not go away.<br />
<br />
Let&#39;s use current_cred() in nfsd_nl_threads_set_doit().<br />
