CVE-2026-45870

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

SUNRPC: auth_gss: fix memory leaks in XDR decoding error paths

The gssx_dec_ctx(), gssx_dec_status(), and gssx_dec_name()
functions allocate memory via gssx_dec_buffer(), which calls
kmemdup(). When a subsequent decode operation fails, these
functions return immediately without freeing previously
allocated buffers, causing memory leaks.

The leak in gssx_dec_ctx() is particularly relevant because
the caller (gssp_accept_sec_context_upcall) initializes several
buffer length fields to non-zero values, resulting in memory
allocation:

struct gssx_ctx rctxh = {
.exported_context_token.len = GSSX_max_output_handle_sz,
.mech.len = GSS_OID_MAX_LEN,
.src_name.display_name.len = GSSX_max_princ_sz,
.targ_name.display_name.len = GSSX_max_princ_sz
};

If, for example, gssx_dec_name() succeeds for src_name but
fails for targ_name, the memory allocated for
exported_context_token, mech, and src_name.display_name
remains unreferenced and cannot be reclaimed.

Add error handling with goto-based cleanup to free any
previously allocated buffers before returning an error.
