cachefiles: fix dentry leak in cachefiles_open_file()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cachefiles: fix dentry leak in cachefiles_open_file()
A dentry leak may be caused when a lookup cookie and a cull are concurrent:
P1 | P2
-----------------------------------------------------------
cachefiles_lookup_cookie
cachefiles_look_up_object
lookup_one_positive_unlocked
// get dentry
cachefiles_cull
inode->i_flags |= S_KERNEL_FILE;
cachefiles_open_file
cachefiles_mark_inode_in_use
__cachefiles_mark_inode_in_use
can_use = false
if (!(inode->i_flags & S_KERNEL_FILE))
can_use = true
return false
return false
// Returns an error but doesn't put dentry
After that the following WARNING will be triggered when the backend folder
is umounted:

==================================================================
Whether cachefiles_open_file() returns true or false, the reference count
obtained by lookup_positive_unlocked() in cachefiles_look_up_object()
should be released.
Therefore release that reference count in cachefiles_look_up_object() to
fix the above issue and simplify the code.Daten sind bereitgestellt durch National Vulnerability Database (NVD)
