[PATCH net 2/2] ax25: fix potential reference counting leak in ax25_addr_ax25dev

From: Duoming Zhou <hidden>
Date: 2024-05-02 14:46:45
Also in: linux-hams, lkml
Subsystem: networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

The reference counting of ax25_dev potentially increase more
than once in ax25_addr_ax25dev(), which will cause memory leak.

In order to fix the above issue, only increase the reference
counting of ax25_dev once, when the res is not null.

Fixes: d01ffb9eee4a ("ax25: add refcount in ax25_dev to avoid UAF bugs")
