Subject: ipv4: dst_entry leak in ip_send_unicast_reply()
From: Vasily Averin <vvs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 4062090e3e5caaf55bed4523a69f26c3265cc1d2 ]
ip_setup_cork() called inside ip_append_data() steals dst entry from rt to cork
and in case errors in __ip_append_data() nobody frees stolen dst entry
Fixes: 2e77d89b2fa8 ("net: avoid a pair of dst_hold()/dst_release() in ip_append_data()")
