Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: fix refcount leak in __xfrm_policy_check()
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.
