In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sunrpc: fix cache_request leak in cache_release
When a reader's file descriptor is closed while in the middle of reading
a cache_request (rp->offset != 0), cache_release() decrements the
request's readers count but never checks whether it should free the
request.
In cache_read(), when readers drops to 0 and CACHE_PENDING is clear, the
cache_request is removed from the queue and freed along with its buffer
and cache_head reference. cache_release() lacks this cleanup.
The only other path that frees requests with readers == 0 is
cache_dequeue(), but it runs only when CACHE_PENDING transitions from
set to clear. If that transition already happened while readers was
still non-zero, cache_dequeue() will have skipped the request, and no
subsequent call will clean it up.
Add the same cleanup logic from cache_read() to cache_release(): after
decrementing readers, check if it reached 0 with CACHE_PENDING clear,
and if so, dequeue and free the cache_request.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's sunrpc component. When a reader's file descriptor is closed during an active cache request read, the system fails to properly free the associated memory. This memory leak can be exploited by a local attacker, potentially leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) by exhausting system resources.
