From dad3bdeef45f81a6e90204bcc85360bb76eccec7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Westphal Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2022 13:31:49 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nf_tables: fix memory leak during stateful obj update stateful objects can be updated from the control plane. The transaction logic allocates a temporary object for this purpose. The ->init function was called for this object, so plain kfree() leaks resources. We must call ->destroy function of the object. nft_obj_destroy does this, but it also decrements the module refcount, but the update path doesn't increment it. To avoid special-casing the update object release, do module_get for the update case too and release it via nft_obj_destroy().
