From: Xin Xiong <xiongx18@fudan.edu.cn> stable inclusion from stable-v4.19.257 commit 0769491a8acd3e85ca4c3f65080eac2c824262df category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I5UQH4 CVE: NA -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit 9c9cb23e00ddf45679b21b4dacc11d1ae7961ebe ] 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.
