Subject: [PATCH] sctp: fix memory leak in sctp_datamsg_from_user() when copy
 from user space fails

commit be364c8c0f17a3dd42707b5a090b318028538eb9 upstream.

Trinity (the syscall fuzzer) discovered a memory leak in SCTP,
reproducible e.g. with the sendto() syscall by passing invalid
user space pointer in the second argument:

 #include <string.h>
 #include <arpa/inet.h>
 #include <sys/socket.h>

 int main(void)
 {
         int fd;
         struct sockaddr_in sa;

         fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 132 /*IPPROTO_SCTP*/);
         if (fd < 0)
                 return 1;

         memset(&sa, 0, sizeof(sa));
         sa.sin_family = AF_INET;
         sa.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1");
         sa.sin_port = htons(11111);

         sendto(fd, NULL, 1, 0, (struct sockaddr *)&sa, sizeof(sa));

         return 0;
 }

As far as I can tell, the leak has been around since ~2003.
