Subject: sctp: fix dst refcnt leak in sctp_v6_get_dst()
From: Alexey Kodanev <alexey.kodanev@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 957d761cf91cdbb175ad7d8f5472336a4d54dbf2 ]
When going through the bind address list in sctp_v6_get_dst() and
the previously found address is better ('matchlen > bmatchlen'),
the code continues to the next iteration without releasing currently
held destination.
Fix it by releasing 'bdst' before continue to the next iteration, and
instead of introducing one more '!IS_ERR(bdst)' check for dst_release(),
move the already existed one right after ip6_dst_lookup_flow(), i.e. we
shouldn't proceed further if we get an error for the route lookup.
Fixes: dbc2b5e9a09e ("sctp: fix src address selection if using secondary addresses for ipv6")
