[PATCH] seccomp: fix memory leak on filter attach

From: Kees Cook
Date: Mon Apr 14 2014 - 13:11:58 EST


This sets the correct error code when final filter memory is unavailable,
and frees the raw filter no matter what.

unreferenced object 0xffff8800d6ea4000 (size 512):
comm "sshd", pid 278, jiffies 4294898315 (age 46.653s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):
21 00 00 00 04 00 00 00 15 00 01 00 3e 00 00 c0 !...........>...
06 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 21 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........!.......
backtrace:
