Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: fix refcount leak in __xfrm_policy_check()
The issue happens on an error path in __xfrm_policy_check(). When the
fetching process of the object `pols[1]` fails, the function simply
returns 0, forgetting to decrement the reference count of `pols[0]`,
which is incremented earlier by either xfrm_sk_policy_lookup() or
xfrm_policy_lookup(). This may result in memory leaks.
Fix it by decreasing the reference count of `pols[0]` in that path.

"value": "En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: xfrm: se corrige una fuga de referencias en __xfrm_policy_check(). El problema ocurre en una ruta de error en __xfrm_policy_check(). Cuando falla la obtenci\u00f3n del objeto `pols[1]`, la funci\u00f3n simplemente devuelve 0, olvidando decrementar el recuento de referencias de `pols[0]`, que se incrementa previamente mediante xfrm_sk_policy_lookup() o xfrm_policy_lookup(). Esto puede provocar fugas de memoria. Para solucionarlo, reduzca el recuento de referencias de `pols[0]` en esa ruta."
