From 6cafaf4764a32597c2195aa5411b87728e1fde8a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Liping Zhang Date: Mon, 20 Jun 2016 21:11:45 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: nf_tables: fix memory leak if expr init fails If expr init fails then we need to free it. So when the user add a nft rule as follows: # nft add rule filter input tcp dport 22 flow table ssh \ { ip saddr limit rate 0/second } memory leak will happen.
