I had a look at the second leak reported it seems to be caused by the
same proc_set_tty() call but, in this case, there is no
disassociate_tty() call for the task (and the patch I posted is not
enough). Maybe something like below (no thourough testing):

diff --git a/drivers/char/tty_io.c b/drivers/char/tty_io.c
index db91398..ea6ca7d 100644
--- a/drivers/char/tty_io.c
+++ b/drivers/char/tty_io.c

spin_lock_irq(&p->sighand->siglock);
+ tty = p->signal->tty;
+ if (tty) {
+ put_pid(tty->session);
+ put_pid(tty->pgrp);
+ }
p->signal->tty = NULL;
spin_unlock_irq(&p->sighand->siglock);
}
