In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
l2tp: Fix memleak in l2tp_udp_encap_recv().
syzbot reported memleak of struct l2tp_session, l2tp_tunnel,
sock, etc. [0]
The cited commit moved down the validation of the protocol
version in l2tp_udp_encap_recv().
The new place requires an extra error handling to avoid the
memleak.
Let's call l2tp_session_put() there.
