    "summary": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vlan: fix memory leak in vlan_newlink() Blamed commit added back a bug I fixed in commit 9bbd917e0bec (\"vlan: fix memory leak in vlan_dev_set_egress_priority\") If a memory allocation fails in vlan_changelink() after other allocations succeeded, we need to call vlan_dev_free_egress_priority() to free all allocated memory because after a failed ->newlink() we do not call any methods like ndo_uninit() or dev->priv_destructor(). In following example, if the allocation for last element 2000:2001 fails, we need to free eight prior allocations: ip link add link dummy0 dummy0.100 type vlan id 100 \\ egress-qos-map 1:2 2:3 3:4 4:5 5:6 6:7 7:8 8:9 2000:2001 syzbot report was: BUG: memory leak unreferenced object 0xffff888117bd1060 (size 32): comm \"syz-executor408\", pid 3759, jiffies 4294956555 (age 34.090s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 09 00 00 00 00 a0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ backtrace: [] kmalloc include/linux/slab.h:600 [inline] [] vlan_dev_set_egress_priority+0xed/0x170 net/8021q/vlan_dev.c:193 [] vlan_changelink+0x178/0x1d0 net/8021q/vlan_netlink.c:128 [] vlan_newlink+0x148/0x260 net/8021q/vlan_netlink.c:185 [] rtnl_newlink_create net/core/rtnetlink.c:3363 [inline] [] __rtnl_newlink+0xa58/0xdc0 net/core/rtnetlink.c:3580 [] rtnl_newlink+0x49/0x70 net/core/rtnetlink.c:3593 [] rtnetlink_rcv_msg+0x21c/0x5c0 net/core/rtnetlink.c:6089 [",
