In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: fix a memleak when uncloning an skb dst and its metadata
When uncloning an skb dst and its associated metadata, a new dst+metadata is allocated and later replaces the old one in the skb. This is helpful to have a non-shared dst+metadata attached to a specific skb.
The issue is the uncloned dst+metadata is initialized with a refcount of 1, which is increased to 2 before attaching it to the skb. When tundstunclone returns, the dst+metadata is only referenced from a single place (the skb) while its refcount is 2. Its refcount will never drop to 0 (when the skb is consumed), leading to a memory leak.
Fix this by removing the call to dsthold in tundst_unclone, as the dst+metadata refcount is already 1.
