CVE-2022-49020 Information

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/9p: Fix a potential socket leak in p9_socket_open

Both p9_fd_create_tcp() and p9_fd_create_unix() will call p9_socket_open(). If the creation of p9_trans_fd fails p9_fd_create_tcp() and p9_fd_create_unix() will return an error directly instead of releasing the cscoket which will result in a socket leak.

This patch adds sock_release() to fix the leak issue.
