Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
net: mctp: take ownership of skb in mctp_local_output<br />
<br />
Currently, mctp_local_output only takes ownership of skb on success, and<br />
we may leak an skb if mctp_local_output fails in specific states; the<br />
skb ownership isn&#39;t transferred until the actual output routing occurs.<br />
<br />
Instead, make mctp_local_output free the skb on all error paths up to<br />
the route action, so it always consumes the passed skb.
