From: Xiyu Yang <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit 441870ee4240cf67b5d3ab8e16216a9ff42eb5d6 ]
tipc_crypto_rcv() invokes tipc_aead_get(), which returns a reference of the tipc_aead object to "aead" with increased refcnt. When tipc_crypto_rcv() returns, the original local reference of "aead" becomes invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced. The issue happens in one error path of tipc_crypto_rcv(). When TIPC message decryption status is EINPROGRESS or EBUSY, the function forgets to decrease the refcnt increased by tipc_aead_get() and causes a refcnt leak. Fix this issue by calling tipc_aead_put() on the error path when TIPC message decryption status is EINPROGRESS or EBUSY.
