[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Li RongQing <roy.qing.li@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit 916c1689a09bc1ca81f2d7a34876f8d35aadd11b ]

skb_cow called in vlan_reorder_header does not free the skb when it failed,
and vlan_reorder_header returns NULL to reset original skb when it is called
in vlan_untag, lead to a memory leak.
