[062/114] tcp: cookie transactions setsockopt memory leak

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Aug 24 2010 - 19:14:50 EST


2.6.35-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------


From: Dmitry Popov <dp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit a3bdb549e30e7a263f7a589747c40e9c50110315 ]

There is a bug in do_tcp_setsockopt(net/ipv4/tcp.c),
TCP_COOKIE_TRANSACTIONS case.
In some cases (when tp->cookie_values == NULL) new tcp_cookie_values
structure can be allocated (at cvp), but not bound to
tp->cookie_values. So a memory leak occurs.
