Subject: CVE-2022-49461: amt: fix memory leak for advertisement message

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

amt: fix memory leak for advertisement message

When a gateway receives an advertisement message, it extracts relay
information and then it should be freed.
But the advertisement handler doesn't free it.
So, memory leak would occur.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-49461 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
