Subject: netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: fix secctx memory leak
From: Liping Zhang <zlpnobody@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 77c1c03c5b8ef28e55bb0aff29b1e006037ca645 ]
We must call security_release_secctx to free the memory returned by
security_secid_to_secctx, otherwise memory may be leaked forever.
Fixes: ef493bd930ae ("netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: add security context information")
