[PATCH] tipc: Fix potential tipc_aead refcnt leak in tipc_crypto_rcv

From: Xiyu Yang
Date: Wed Apr 15 2020 - 04:40:55 EST


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.
