Subject: [PATCH 4.4 52/78] netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: fix secctx memory leak

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Liping Zhang <zlpnobody@...il.com>


[ Upstream commit 77c1c03c5b8ef28e55bb0aff29b1e006037ca645 ]

We must call security_release_secctx to free the memory returned by
security_secid_to_secctx, otherwise memory may be leaked forever.

Fixes: ef493bd930ae ("netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: add security context information")
