fkie_cve-2022-49890

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

capabilities: fix potential memleak on error path from vfs_getxattr_alloc()

In cap_inode_getsecurity(), we will use vfs_getxattr_alloc() to complete the memory allocation of tmpbuf, if we have completed the memory allocation of tmpbuf, but failed to call handler->get(...), there will be a memleak in below logic:

|-- ret = (int)vfs_getxattr_alloc(mnt_userns, ...) | /* ^^^ alloc for tmpbuf */ |-- value = krealloc(*xattr_value, error + 1, flags) | /* ^^^ alloc memory */ |-- error = handler->get(handler, ...) | /* error! */ |-- *xattr_value = value | /* xattr_value is &tmpbuf (memory leak!) */

So we will try to free(tmpbuf) after vfs_getxattr_alloc() fails to fix it.

[PM: subject line and backtrace tweaks]
