From b437aba85b5c4689543409d8407c016749231aae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Himanshu Shukla Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2016 16:17:02 +0530 Subject: SMACK: Fix the memory leak in smack_cred_prepare() hook Memory leak in smack_cred_prepare()function. smack_cred_prepare() hook returns error if there is error in allocating memory in smk_copy_rules() or smk_copy_relabel() function. If smack_cred_prepare() function returns error then the calling function should call smack_cred_free() function for cleanup. In smack_cred_free() function first credential is extracted and then all rules are deleted. In smack_cred_prepare() function security field is assigned in the end when all function return success. But this function may return before and memory will not be freed.
