    netlink: Fix leak in unterminated string deserializer
    
    Allocated 'mask' expression is not freed before returning to caller,
    although it is used temporarily only.

    netlink: Fix leaks in netlink_parse_cmp()
    
    This fixes several problems at once:
    
    * Err path would leak expr 'right' in two places and 'left' in one.
    * Concat case would leak 'right' by overwriting the pointer. Introduce a
      temporary variable to hold the new pointer.

    netlink: Avoid potential NULL-pointer deref in netlink_gen_payload_stmt()
    
    With payload_needs_l4csum_update_pseudohdr() unconditionally
    dereferencing passed 'desc' parameter and a previous check for it to be
    non-NULL, make sure to call the function only if input is sane.

Comment 4 Phil Sutter 2020-02-12 17:44:47 UTC
Same defects exist in RHEL8.1 as well (not sure why they went unnoticed in last errata), therefore requesting z-stream clone of this ticket.
