Details

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

ubifs: dirty_cow_znode: Fix memleak in error handling path

Following process will cause a memleak for copied up znode:

dirty_cow_znode zn = copy_znode(c, znode); err = insert_old_idx(c, zbr->lnum, zbr->offs); if (unlikely(err)) return ERR_PTR(err); // No one refers to zn.

Fix it by adding copied znode back to tnc, then it will be freed by ubifs_destroy_tnc_subtree() while closing tnc.

Fetch a reproducer in [Link].
