kernel: memory leak in __feat_register_sp() in net/dccp/feat.c
In the Linux kernel before 5.1, there is a memory leak in __feat_register_sp() in net/dccp/feat.c, which may cause denial of service, aka CID-1d3ff0950e2b.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s implementation of the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP). A local attacker with access to the system can create DCCP sockets to cause a memory leak and repeat this operation to exhaust all memory and panic the system.
Mitigation: As the DCCP module will be auto-loaded when required, its use can be disabled. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5 (and later) and 8.0 (and later) already have this disabled, but for any other version, the system can prevent the module from loading with the following instructions :
