From: Jesper Juhl Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2007 22:57:49 +0000 (+0100) Subject: Fix memory leak in discard case of sctp_sf_abort_violation() X-Git-Tag: v2.6.24-rc3~145^2~27^2 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9abed245a6dc94c32b2f45a1ecc51a0829d11470;p=linux-2.6 Fix memory leak in discard case of sctp_sf_abort_violation() In net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c::sctp_sf_abort_violation() we may leak the storage allocated for 'abort' by returning from the function without using or freeing it. This happens in case "sctp_auth_recv_cid(SCTP_CID_ABORT, asoc)" is true and we jump to the 'discard' label. Spotted by the Coverity checker. The simple fix is to simply move the creation of the "abort chunk" to after the possible jump to the 'discard' label. This way we don't even have to allocate the memory at all in the problem case.
