Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: fix memory leak in ceph_direct_read_write()
The bvecs array which is allocated in iter_get_bvecs_alloc() is leaked
and pages remain pinned if ceph_alloc_sparse_ext_map() fails.
There is no need to delay the allocation of sparse_ext map until after
the bvecs array is set up, so fix this by moving sparse_ext allocation
a bit earlier. Also, make a similar adjustment in __ceph_sync_read()
for consistency (a leak of the same kind in __ceph_sync_read() has been
addressed differently).
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.6 < 6.6.69)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.12.7)
• linux linux kernel 6.13
