- Summary
- apparmor: release exe file resources on path failure
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
apparmor: release exe file resources on path failure
getcurrentexepath() takes both an exefile reference and a path reference before resolving the path name. If aapathname() failed, it returned immediately and leaked both references.
Route the failure through the common cleanup path so fput() and path_put() always run after the references are acquired.
