Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
openvswitch: fix memory leak at failed datapath creation
ovs_dp_cmd_new()->ovs_dp_change()->ovs_dp_set_upcall_portids() allocates array via kmalloc. If for some reason new_vport() fails during ovs_dp_cmd_new() dp->upcall_portids must be freed. Add missing kfree.
