Subject: [PATCH v1 net] l2tp: Fix memleak in l2tp_udp_encap_recv().
Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2026 18:54:44 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260113185446.2533333-1-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)
syzbot reported memleak of struct l2tp_session, l2tp_tunnel,
sock, etc. [0]
The cited commit moved down the validation of the protocol
version in l2tp_udp_encap_recv().
The new place requires an extra error handling to avoid the
memleak.
Let's call l2tp_session_put() there.
