- af_unix: Fix memleak of newsk in unix_stream_connect().
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_unix: Fix memleak of newsk in unix_stream_connect().
When prepare_peercred() fails in unix_stream_connect(), unix_release_sock() is not called for newsk, and the memory is leaked.
Let's move prepare_peercred() before unix_create1().
