[PATCH 4.14 107/115] irda: Fix memory leak caused by repeated binds of irda socket
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Sep 13 2018 - 09:48:52 EST
4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The irda_bind() function allocates memory for self->ias_obj without
checking to see if the socket is already bound. A userspace process
could repeatedly bind the socket, have each new object added into the
LM-IAS database, and lose the reference to the old object assigned to
the socket to exhaust memory resources. This patch errors out of the
bind operation when self->ias_obj is already assigned.
CVE-2018-6554
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
