Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6: sr: fix memleak in seg6_hmac_init_algo seg6_hmac_init_algo returns without cleaning up the previous allocations if one fails, so it's going to leak all that memory and the crypto tfms. Update seg6_hmac_exit to only free the memory when allocated, so we can reuse the code directly.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 4.10 < 4.19.316) • linux linux kernel (>= 4.20 < 5.4.278) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.5 < 5.10.219) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.161) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.93) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.6.33) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.9.4)
