In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
svcrdma: Use svc_xprt_put to free listener on create failure
svc_rdma_create() calls kfree(cma_xprt) when
svc_rdma_create_listen_id() fails. svc_xprt_init() has already
acquired a net namespace reference via get_net_track(); kfree
bypasses svc_xprt_free() which releases it.
Replace the kfree() with svc_xprt_put() so the kref_init birth
reference drops to zero and svc_xprt_free() dispatches
svc_rdma_free() to clean up properly. sc_cm_id is still NULL
at that point; the preceding patch added the necessary NULL
guard in svc_rdma_free().
svc_xprt_free() also drops the module reference via
module_put(), but the caller _svc_xprt_create() does the same
on xpo_create failure, double-putting the single
try_module_get() it acquired. Take a compensating
__module_get() before the svc_xprt_put() to keep the count
balanced, matching the convention in svc_rdma_accept()'s error
path.
