In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

kfence: fix memory leak when cat kfence objects

Hulk robot reported a kmemleak problem:

I find that we can easily reproduce this problem with the following
commands:

	cat /sys/kernel/debug/kfence/objects
	echo scan > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
	cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak

The leaked memory is allocated in the stack below:

    do_syscall_64
      do_sys_open
        do_dentry_open
          full_proxy_open
            seq_open            ---> alloc seq_file
      vfs_read
        full_proxy_read
          seq_read
            seq_read_iter
              traverse          ---> alloc seq_buf

And it should have been released in the following process:

    do_syscall_64
      syscall_exit_to_user_mode
        exit_to_user_mode_prepare
          task_work_run
            ____fput
              __fput
                full_proxy_release  ---> free here

However, the release function corresponding to file_operations is not
implemented in kfence.  As a result, a memory leak occurs.  Therefore,
the solution to this problem is to implement the corresponding release
function.
