From: Xin Xiong <xiongx18@fudan.edu.cn> stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.138 commit 2ceeb3296e9dde1d5772348046affcefdea605e2 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I60QFD Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- commit 11c3627ec6b56c1525013f336f41b79a983b4d46 upstream. The aa_pivotroot() function has a reference counting bug in a specific path. When aa_replace_current_label() returns on success, the function forgets to decrement the reference count of “target”, which is increased earlier by build_pivotroot(), causing a reference leak. Fix it by decreasing the refcount of “target” in that path.
