Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
xfrm: fix refcount leak in xfrm_migrate_policy_find<br />
<br />
syzkaller reported a memory leak in xfrm_policy_alloc:<br />
<br />
BUG: memory leak<br />
unreferenced object 0xffff888114d79000 (size 1024):<br />
comm "syz.1.17", pid 931<br />
...<br />
xfrm_policy_alloc+0xb3/0x4b0 net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c:432<br />
<br />
The root cause is a double call to xfrm_pol_hold_rcu() in<br />
xfrm_migrate_policy_find(). The lookup function already returns<br />
a policy with held reference, making the second call redundant.<br />
<br />
Remove the redundant xfrm_pol_hold_rcu() call to fix the refcount<br />
imbalance and prevent the memory leak.<br />
<br />
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.
