Chuck Lever b4af380684 SUNRPC: auth_gss: fix memory leaks in XDR decoding error paths 
commit 3e6397b056 upstream.

The gssx_dec_ctx(), gssx_dec_status(), and gssx_dec_name()
functions allocate memory via gssx_dec_buffer(), which calls
kmemdup(). When a subsequent decode operation fails, these
functions return immediately without freeing previously
allocated buffers, causing memory leaks.

The leak in gssx_dec_ctx() is particularly relevant because
the caller (gssp_accept_sec_context_upcall) initializes several
buffer length fields to non-zero values, resulting in memory
allocation:

    struct gssx_ctx rctxh = {
        .exported_context_token.len = GSSX_max_output_handle_sz,
        .mech.len = GSS_OID_MAX_LEN,
        .src_name.display_name.len = GSSX_max_princ_sz,
        .targ_name.display_name.len = GSSX_max_princ_sz
    };

If, for example, gssx_dec_name() succeeds for src_name but
fails for targ_name, the memory allocated for
exported_context_token, mech, and src_name.display_name
remains unreferenced and cannot be reclaimed.

Add error handling with goto-based cleanup to free any
previously allocated buffers before returning an error.

README 

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 reStructuredText 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.
