In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ubifs: dirty_cow_znode: Fix memleak in error handling path
Following process will cause a memleak for copied up znode:
dirty_cow_znode
zn = copy_znode(c, znode);
err = insert_old_idx(c, zbr->lnum, zbr->offs);
if (unlikely(err))
return ERR_PTR(err); // No one refers to zn.
Fix it by adding copied znode back to tnc, then it will be freed
by ubifs_destroy_tnc_subtree() while closing tnc.
