Subject: [PATCH] tty: fix pid refcount leak in tty_signal_session_leader
Date: Sun, 26 Jul 2020 13:28:04 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200726052804.GA51199@xin-virtual-machine> (raw)
In the loop, every time when p->signal->leader is true, the function
tty_signal_session_leader() will invoke get_pid() and return a
reference of tty->pgrp with increased refcount to the local variable
tty_pgrp or return NULL if it fails. After finishing the loop, the
function invokes put_pid() for only once, decreasing the refcount that
tty_pgrp keeps.
Refcount leaks may occur when the scenario that p->signal->leader is
true happens more than once. In this assumption, if the above scenario
happens n times in the loop, the function forgets to decrease the
refcount for n-1 times, which causes refcount leaks.
Fix the issue by decreasing the current refcount of the local variable
tty_pgrp before assigning new objects to it.
