Subject: [PATCH] binder: free fd fixups on superseded transaction teardown
Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2026 22:01:41 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260619220141.3193697-1-tristmd@gmail.com> (raw)
From: Tristan Madani <tristan@talencesecurity.com>
When a TF_UPDATE_TXN oneway transaction supersedes an outdated pending
transaction, the outdated transaction is freed with kfree() but its
fd_fixups list is not cleaned up first. Each binder_txn_fd_fixup on
the list holds a reference to a struct file (from fget in the sender
path) that is never released.
All other transaction teardown paths (binder_free_transaction and the
error paths in binder_transaction) correctly call
binder_free_txn_fixups() before freeing. Apply the same cleanup to
the t_outdated teardown path.
Fixes: 9864bb480133 ("Binder: add TF_UPDATE_TXN to replace outdated txn")
