From: Xiyu Yang <xiyuyang19@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit a0b845ffa0d91855532b50fc040aeb2d8338dca4 upstream. aa_change_profile() invokes aa_get_current_label(), which returns a reference of the current task's label. According to the comment of aa_get_current_label(), the returned reference must be put with aa_put_label(). However, when the original object pointed by "label" becomes unreachable because aa_change_profile() returns or a new object is assigned to "label", reference count increased by aa_get_current_label() is not decreased, causing a refcnt leak. Fix this by calling aa_put_label() before aa_change_profile() return and dropping unnecessary aa_get_current_label().
