Subject[PATCH] net/wanrouter/wanproc.c
From
Hi All,
I am working with Dawson Engler's meta-compillation group @ Stanford.

In net/wanrouter/wanproc.c the authors check for a bad copy_to_user and
immediately return -EFAULT. However, it is necessary to rollback some
allocated memory. This can leak memory over time, thus leading to
system instability and lack of resources.

Thanks!
