[PATCH 6.6/6.1 1/1] pppoe: Fix memory leak in pppoe_sendmsg()

From: Gavrilov Ilia
Date: Wed Mar 20 2024 - 10:37:05 EST


From: Gavrilov Ilia <Ilia.Gavrilov@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit dc34ebd5c018b0edf47f39d11083ad8312733034 upstream.

syzbot reports a memory leak in pppoe_sendmsg [1].

The problem is in the pppoe_recvmsg() function that handles errors
in the wrong order. For the skb_recv_datagram() function, check
the pointer to skb for NULL first, and then check the 'error' variable,
because the skb_recv_datagram() function can set 'error'
to -EAGAIN in a loop but return a correct pointer to socket buffer
after a number of attempts, though 'error' remains set to -EAGAIN.

skb_recv_datagram
__skb_recv_datagram // Loop. if (err == -EAGAIN) then
// go to the next loop iteration
__skb_try_recv_datagram // if (skb != NULL) then return 'skb'
// else if a signal is received then
// return -EAGAIN
