2009-11-09 12:25:04 John Johansen linux (Ubuntu): status New In Progress
2009-11-10 17:10:24 John Johansen description AppArmor fails to drop the cred reference in domain.c:aa_may_change_ptraced_domain if (tracer) cred = aa_get_task_policy(tracer, &tracerp); rcu_read_unlock(); if (!tracerp) return error; <--------- cred reference needs to be dropped here SRU Justification: Failure to put the cred causes a memory leak that is larger than the cred struct, as it leaks everything it references. This happens for every unconfined processes that does an exec, change_hat or change_profile and passes through this function. AppArmor fails to drop the cred reference in domain.c:aa_may_change_ptraced_domain  if (tracer)   cred = aa_get_task_policy(tracer, &tracerp);  rcu_read_unlock();  if (!tracerp)                return error; <--------- cred reference needs to be dropped here
