Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> futex: Use correct exit on failure from futex_hash_allocate_default()<br /> <br /> copy_process() uses the wrong error exit path from futex_hash_allocate_default().<br /> After exiting from futex_hash_allocate_default(), neither tasklist_lock<br /> nor siglock has been acquired. The exit label bad_fork_core_free unlocks<br /> both of these locks which is wrong.<br /> <br /> The next exit label, bad_fork_cancel_cgroup, is the correct exit.<br /> sched_cgroup_fork() did not allocate any resources that need to freed.<br /> <br /> Use bad_fork_cancel_cgroup on error exit from futex_hash_allocate_default().
