SUNRPC: auth_gss: fix memory leaks in XDR decoding error paths
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
SUNRPC: auth_gss: fix memory leaks in XDR decoding error paths
The gssx_dec_ctx(), gssx_dec_status(), and gssx_dec_name()
functions allocate memory via gssx_dec_buffer(), which calls
kmemdup(). When a subsequent decode operation fails, these
functions return immediately without freeing previously
allocated buffers, causing memory leaks.
The leak in gssx_dec_ctx() is particularly relevant because
the caller (gssp_accept_sec_context_upcall) initializes several
buffer length fields to non-zero values, resulting in memory
allocation:
struct gssx_ctx rctxh = {
.exported_context_token.len = GSSX_max_output_handle_sz,
.mech.len = GSS_OID_MAX_LEN,
.src_name.display_name.len = GSSX_max_princ_sz,
.targ_name.display_name.len = GSSX_max_princ_sz
};
If, for example, gssx_dec_name() succeeds for src_name but
fails for targ_name, the memory allocated for
exported_context_token, mech, and src_name.display_name
remains unreferenced and cannot be reclaimed.
Add error handling with goto-based cleanup to free any
previously allocated buffers before returning an error.Daten sind bereitgestellt durch National Vulnerability Database (NVD)

CWE-401 Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime
The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, making the memory unavailable for reallocation and reuse.
