Subject: [PATCH] ipcomp: double free at ipcomp_destroy()
Date: Sun, 14 Feb 2010 16:44:15 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100214144415.GA8115@x200> (raw)

Consider using ipcomp with tunnel mode:

	pfkey_add -> xfrm_state_init -> x->type->init_state() == ipcomp4_init_state

1. If ipcomp_tunnel_attach() fails, xfrm_state private data (x->data) are freed
   first time (synchronously), but stale pointer is left.
2. xfrm_state_init() failed, all right, we're going to do error unwind
   but this time asynchronously and we're going to double free x->data
   asynchronously.

Fix by clearing x->data pointer, so second time it'll be fine.

Note, second time can happen in quite arbitrary time, double free
messages were seen in completely irrelevant functions, e. g. 

	INFO: Allocated in icmp_sk_init
	INFO: Freed in icmp_sk_exit

	[<ffffffff810b5ceb>] kfree+0xab/0x140
	[<ffffffff810719ae>] free_sect_attrs	(!)
	[<ffffffff81072353>] free_module

The only common thing was kmalloc-16 cache.
