Subject: [PATCH] IMA: iint put in ima_counts_get and put
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2009 14:56:48 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090826185648.4146.15888.stgit@paris.rdu.redhat.com> (raw)

ima_counts_get() calls ima_iint_find_insert_get() which takes a reference
to the iint in question, but does not put that reference at the end of the
function.  This can lead to a nasty memory leak.  Easy enough to reproduce:

#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main (void)
{
	int i;
	void *ptr;

	for (i=0; i < 100000; i++) {
		ptr = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
			   MAP_SHARED|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
		if (ptr == MAP_FAILED)
			return 2;
		munmap(ptr, 4096);
	}

	return 0;
}
