From 2fffdf4dded1032d8ab974567dfc59d754b94c94 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vincent Minet Date: Fri, 8 May 2020 00:14:22 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] umh: fix memory leak on execve failure [ Upstream commit db803036ada7d61d096783726f9771b3fc540370 ] If a UMH process created by fork_usermode_blob() fails to execute, a pair of struct file allocated by umh_pipe_setup() will leak. Under normal conditions, the caller (like bpfilter) needs to manage the lifetime of the UMH and its two pipes. But when fork_usermode_blob() fails, the caller doesn't really have a way to know what needs to be done. It seems better to do the cleanup ourselves in this case.
