Subject: CVE-2024-56553: binder: fix memleak of proc->delivered_freeze
Description
===========
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
binder: fix memleak of proc->delivered_freeze
If a freeze notification is cleared with BC_CLEAR_FREEZE_NOTIFICATION
before calling binder_freeze_notification_done(), then it is detached
from its reference (e.g. ref->freeze) but the work remains queued in
proc->delivered_freeze. This leads to a memory leak when the process
exits as any pending entries in proc->delivered_freeze are not freed:

This patch fixes the leak by ensuring that any pending entries in
proc->delivered_freeze are freed during binder_deferred_release().
The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-56553 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========
The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes. Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release. Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all. If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b8b77712142fb146fe18d2253bc8a798d522e427
