Date: Sun, 28 Mar 2021 14:17:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <16169338269440@kroah.com> (raw)


This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    tty: fix memory leak in vc_deallocate

to my tty git tree which can be found at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git
in the tty-testing branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will be merged to the tty-next branch sometime soon,
after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: tty: fix memory leak in vc_deallocate

syzbot reported memory leak in tty/vt.
The problem was in VT_DISALLOCATE ioctl cmd.
After allocating unimap with PIO_UNIMAP it wasn't
freed via VT_DISALLOCATE, but vc_cons[currcons].d was
zeroed.
