In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: fix refcount leak in __xfrm_policy_check()
The issue happens on an error path in __xfrm_policy_check(). When the
fetching process of the object pols[1] fails, the function simply
returns 0, forgetting to decrement the reference count of pols[0],
which is incremented earlier by either xfrm_sk_policy_lookup() or
xfrm_policy_lookup(). This may result in memory leaks.
Fix it by decreasing the reference count of pols[0] in that path.
A flaw was found in the XFRM subsystem in the Linux kernel. A missing decrement of the reference count when an error occurs will cause a memory leak, potentially impacting system performance and resulting in a denial of service.
