CVE-2021-47249

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: rds: fix memory leak in rds_recvmsg

Syzbot reported memory leak in rds. The problem
was in unputted refcount in case of error.

int rds_recvmsg(struct socket *sock, struct msghdr *msg, size_t size,
		int msg_flags)
{
...

	if (!rds_next_incoming(rs, &inc)) {
		...
	}

After this "if" inc refcount incremented and

	if (rds_cmsg_recv(inc, msg, rs)) {
		ret = -EFAULT;
		goto out;
	}
...
out:
	return ret;
}

in case of rds_cmsg_recv() fail the refcount won't be
decremented. And it's easy to see from ftrace log, that
rds_inc_addref() don't have rds_inc_put() pair in
rds_recvmsg() after rds_cmsg_recv()

 1)               |  rds_recvmsg() {
 1)   3.721 us    |    rds_inc_addref();
 1)   3.853 us    |    rds_message_inc_copy_to_user();
 1) + 10.395 us   |    rds_cmsg_recv();
 1) + 34.260 us   |  }

CWE-401 Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime

The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, which slowly consumes remaining memory.
