From: Xin Xiong <xiongx18@fudan.edu.cn> stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.140 commit 1305d7d4f35ca6f214a2d23b075aa6a924cff3be category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I63FTT Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- [ 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.
