commit 8a4cd82d62b5ec7e5482333a72b58a4eea4979f0 upstream. nfc_llcp_local_get() is invoked in llcp_sock_connect(), but nfc_llcp_local_put() is not invoked in subsequent failure branches. As a result, refcount leakage occurs. To fix it, add calling nfc_llcp_local_put(). fix CVE-2020-25671 Fixes: c7aa12252f51 ("NFC: Take a reference on the LLCP local pointer when creating a socket") Reported-by: "kiyin(尹亮)" <kiyin@tencent.com> Link: https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2020/11/01/1 Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> #v3.6 Signed-off-by: Xiaoming Ni <nixiaoming@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
