Subject: [PATCH] xfrm: xfrm_input: fix a possible memory leak in xfrm_input()

xfrm_input needs to handle skb internally. But skb is not freed When
xo->flags & XFRM_GRO == 0 and decaps == 0.

Did you test this? The function behind the 'afinfo->the transport_finish()'
pointer handles this skb and frees it in that case.

Thanks for your explanation. I will be more careful in the future.

int xfrm4_transport_finish(struct sk_buff *skb, int async)
{
struct xfrm_offload *xo = xfrm_offload(skb);
struct iphdr *iph = ip_hdr(skb);

iph->protocol = XFRM_MODE_SKB_CB(skb)->protocol;

#ifndef CONFIG_NETFILTER
if (!async)
return -iph->protocol; <--- [1]
#endif
...
NF_HOOK(NFPROTO_IPV4, NF_INET_PRE_ROUTING,
dev_net(skb->dev), NULL, skb, skb->dev, NULL,
xfrm4_rcv_encap_finish); <--- [2]
return 0;
}

int xfrm6_transport_finish(struct sk_buff *skb, int async)
{
struct xfrm_offload *xo = xfrm_offload(skb);
int nhlen = skb->data - skb_network_header(skb);

skb_network_header(skb)[IP6CB(skb)->nhoff] =
XFRM_MODE_SKB_CB(skb)->protocol;

#ifndef CONFIG_NETFILTER
if (!async)
return 1; <--- [3]
#endif
...
NF_HOOK(NFPROTO_IPV6, NF_INET_PRE_ROUTING,
dev_net(skb->dev), NULL, skb, skb->dev, NULL,
xfrm6_transport_finish2);
return 0; <--- [4]
}

If transport_finish() return in [1] or [3], there will be a memory leak.
If it return return in [2] and [4], there will not be a memory leak. It
look like my patch is incorrect.

How do you think i modify the patch as follows?

gro_cells_receive(&gro_cells, skb);
return err;
}
-
+ if (err != 0)
+ kfree_skb(skb);
return err;
}

No, even in that case there is no memleak. Look for instance at the
IPv4 case, we return -iph->protocol here.
Then look at ip_protocol_deliver_rcu(). If the ipprot->handler (xfrm)
returns a negative value, this is interpreted as the protocol number
and the packet is resubmitted to the next protocol handler.

Please test your patches before you submit them in the future.
