Improper resource allocation In kernel
Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A local attacker with low privileges could exploit a resource leak vulnerability within the xfrm subsystem. This occurs because a network device (netdev) reference tracker is incorrectly released during direction checks. Successful exploitation can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) due to the exhaustion of system resources.
