Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: rds: fix memory leak in rds_recvmsg

Syzbot reported memory leak in rds. The problem was in unputted refcount in case of error.

int rdsrecvmsg(struct socket *sock, struct msghdr *msg, sizet size, int msg_flags) { ...

if (!rds_next_incoming(rs, &inc)) {
    ...
}

After this "if" inc refcount incremented and

if (rds_cmsg_recv(inc, msg, rs)) {
    ret = -EFAULT;
    goto out;
}

... out: return ret; }

in case of rdscmsgrecv() fail the refcount won't be decremented. And it's easy to see from ftrace log, that rdsincaddref() don't have rdsincput() pair in rdsrecvmsg() after rdscmsg_recv()

1) | rdsrecvmsg() { 1) 3.721 us | rdsincaddref(); 1) 3.853 us | rdsmessageinccopytouser(); 1) + 10.395 us | rdscmsgrecv(); 1) + 34.260 us | }
