Subject: [PATCH] tcp: cookie transactions setsockopt memory leak
Date: Thu, 29 Jul 2010 15:59:36 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTinHWJviHmhVcFQkobsgxa4-AaFUpHmd1wybiB+u@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

From: Dmitry Popov <dp@highloadlab.com>

There is a bug in do_tcp_setsockopt(net/ipv4/tcp.c),
TCP_COOKIE_TRANSACTIONS case.
In some cases (when tp->cookie_values == NULL) new tcp_cookie_values
structure can be allocated (at cvp), but not bound to
tp->cookie_values. So a memory leak occurs.

Signed-off-by: Dmitry Popov <dp@highloadlab.com>
---
tp->cookie_values can be NULL if socket was initialized with
sysctl_tcp_cookie_size == 0 (tcp_v4_init_sock, net/ipv4/tcp_ipv4.c)
Buggy releases: 2.6.33+ (since commit e56fb50f2b7958b931c8a2fc0966061b3f3c8f3a)
