CVE-2021-47519

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: m_can: m_can_read_fifo: fix memory leak in error branch In m_can_read_fifo(), if the second call to m_can_fifo_read() fails, the function jump to the out_fail label and returns without calling m_can_receive_skb(). This means that the skb previously allocated by alloc_can_skb() is not freed. In other terms, this is a memory leak. This patch adds a goto label to destroy the skb if an error occurs. Issue was found with GCC -fanalyzer, please follow the link below for details.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: can: m_can: m_can_read_fifo: corrige la pérdida de memoria en la rama de error En m_can_read_fifo(), si la segunda llamada a m_can_fifo_read() falla, la función salta a la etiqueta out_fail y regresa sin llamar m_can_receive_skb(). Esto significa que el skb previamente asignado por alloc_can_skb() no se libera. En otras palabras, se trata de una pérdida de memoria. Este parche agrega una etiqueta goto para destruir el skb si ocurre un error. Se encontró un problema con GCC -fanalyzer; siga el enlace a continuación para obtener más detalles.
