Subject: [PATCH] Fix refcount leak in tty_port.c
Date: Tue, 9 Jul 2013 10:35:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130709083535.GA30227@debian.seek.priv> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 509 bytes --]
Hello,
In linux 3.10 in the file drivers/tty/tty_port.c the function
tty_port_tty_hangup may leak a tty reference:
struct tty_struct *tty = tty_port_tty_get(port);
if (tty && (!check_clocal || !C_CLOCAL(tty))) {
tty_hangup(tty);
tty_kref_put(tty);
}
If tty != NULL and the second condition is false we never call tty_kref_put and
the reference is leaked.
Fix by nesting two if statements.
