[PATCH 4.9 15/18] nfs: Fix potential posix_acl refcnt leak in nfs3_set_acl

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon May 04 2020 - 14:15:00 EST


From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 7648f939cb919b9d15c21fff8cd9eba908d595dc upstream.

nfs3_set_acl keeps track of the acl it allocated locally to determine if an acl
needs to be released at the end. This results in a memory leak when the
function allocates an acl as well as a default acl. Fix by releasing acls
that differ from the acl originally passed into nfs3_set_acl.

Fixes: b7fa0554cf1b ("[PATCH] NFS: Add support for NFSv3 ACLs")
