CVE-2022-49837
Estado: ModificadaMedia (5.5)—
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix memory leaks in __check_func_call
kmemleak reports this issue:
The root case here is: In function prepare_func_exit(), the callee is not released in the abnormal scenario after "state->curframe--;". To fix, move "state->curframe--;" to the very bottom of the function, right when we free callee and reset frame[] pointer to NULL, as Andrii suggested.
In addition, function __check_func_call() has a similar problem. In the abnormal scenario before "state->curframe++;", the callee also should be released by free_func_state().
