[PATCH] Lost sockfd_put() in routing_ioctl()
This patch adds lost sockfd_put() in 32bit compat rounting_ioctl() on 64bit platforms, bug found by Vasiliy Averin <vvs@sw.ru>. I believe this is a security issues, since user can fget() file as many times as he wants to. So file refcounter can be overlapped and first fput() will free resources though there will be still structures pointing to the file, mnt, dentry etc. Also fput() sets f_dentry and f_vfsmnt to NULL, so other file users will OOPS. The oops can be done under files_lock and others, so this can be an exploitable DoS on SMP. Didn't checked it on practice actually.
