mainline inclusion from mainline-v6.10-rc1 commit 36e56b1b002bb26440403053f19f9e1a8bc075b2 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/src-openeuler/kernel/issues/IA6SG4 CVE: CVE-2024-38554
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?i...
--------------------------------
There is a reference count leak issue of the object "net_device" in ax25_dev_device_down(). When the ax25 device is shutting down, the ax25_dev_device_down() drops the reference count of net_device one or zero times depending on if we goto unlock_put or not, which will cause memory leak.
In order to solve the above issue, decrease the reference count of net_device after dev->ax25_ptr is set to null.
