[PATCH 4.4 01/60] 9p: fix a potential acl leak

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu May 11 2017 - 10:41:14 EST


4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx>

commit b5c66bab72a6a65edb15beb60b90d3cb84c5763b upstream.

posix_acl_update_mode() could possibly clear 'acl', if so we leak the
memory pointed by 'acl'. Save this pointer before calling
posix_acl_update_mode() and release the memory if 'acl' really gets
cleared.
