ima: fix memory leak in ima_release_policy
When the "policy" securityfs file is opened for read, it is opened as a sequential file. However, when it is eventually released, there is no cleanup for the sequential file, therefore some memory is leaked. This patch adds a call to seq_release() in ima_release_policy() to clean up the memory when the file is opened for read. Fixes: 80eae209d63a IMA: allow reading back the current policy Reported-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Richter <erichte@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Tested-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
