Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: dst_entry leak in ip_append_data()
Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2014 14:17:34 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <543BA6BE.3040509@parallels.com> (raw)

Fixes: 2e77d89b2fa8 ("net: avoid a pair of dst_hold()/dst_release() in ip_append_data()")

If sk_write_queue is empty ip_append_data() executes ip_setup_cork()
that "steals" dst entry from rt to cork. Later it calls __ip_append_data()
that creates skb and adds it to sk_write_queue.

If skb was added successfully following ip_push_pending_frames() call
reassign dst entry from cork to skb, and kfree_skb frees dst_entry.

However nobody frees stolen dst_entry if skb was not added into sk_write_queue.
