Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: tun: Fix memory leaks of napi_get_frags

kmemleak reports after running test_progs:

unreferenced object 0xffff8881b1672dc0 (size 232):
  comm "test_progs", pid 394388, jiffies 4354712116 (age 841.975s)

    [<00000000d776e329>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd

The issue occurs in the following scenarios:
tun_get_user()
  napi_gro_frags()
    napi_frags_finish()
      case GRO_NORMAL:
        gro_normal_one()
          list_add_tail(&skb->list, &napi->rx_list);
          <-- While napi->rx_count < READ_ONCE(gro_normal_batch),
          <-- gro_normal_list() is not called, napi->rx_list is not empty
  <-- not ask to complete the gro work, will cause memory leaks in
  <-- following tun_napi_del()
...
tun_napi_del()
  netif_napi_del()
    __netif_napi_del()
    <-- &napi->rx_list is not empty, which caused memory leaks

To fix, add napi_complete() after napi_gro_frags().

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-49871 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:
