Subject: [RFC PATCH] mm/mempolicy: Fix memory leak in set_mempolicy_home_node system call
Date:   Wed, 14 Dec 2022 17:21:10 -0500
Message-Id: <20221214222110.200487-1-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Precedence: bulk

When encountering any vma in the range with policy other than MPOL_BIND
or MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY, an error is returned without issuing a mpol_put
on the policy just allocated with mpol_dup().

This allows arbitrary users to leak kernel memory.

Fixes: c6018b4b2549 ("mm/mempolicy: add set_mempolicy_home_node syscall")
