Details

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

watch_queue: Actually free the watch

free_watch() does everything barring actually freeing the watch object. Fix this by adding the missing kfree.

kmemleak produces a report something like the following. Note that as an address can be seen in the first word, the watch would appear to have gone through call_rcu().
