Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.18] xfrm: fix refcount leak in xfrm_migrate_policy_find
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 09:18:49 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260420132314.1023554-135-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260420132314.1023554-1-sashal@kernel.org>

From: Kotlyarov Mihail <mihailkotlyarow@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 83317cce60a032c49480dcdabe146435bd689d03 ]

syzkaller reported a memory leak in xfrm_policy_alloc:

  BUG: memory leak
  unreferenced object 0xffff888114d79000 (size 1024):
    comm "syz.1.17", pid 931
    ...
    xfrm_policy_alloc+0xb3/0x4b0 net/xfrm/xfrm_policy.c:432

The root cause is a double call to xfrm_pol_hold_rcu() in
xfrm_migrate_policy_find(). The lookup function already returns
a policy with held reference, making the second call redundant.

Remove the redundant xfrm_pol_hold_rcu() call to fix the refcount
imbalance and prevent the memory leak.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.

Fixes: 563d5ca93e88 ("xfrm: switch migrate to xfrm_policy_lookup_bytype")
