In fl_change(), when adding a new rule (i.e. fold == NULL), a driver may reject the new rule, for example due to resource exhaustion. By that point, the new rule was already assigned a mask, and it was added to that mask's hash table. The clean-up path that's invoked as a result of the rejection however neglects to undo the hash table addition, and proceeds to free the new rule, thus leaving a dangling pointer in the hash table. Fix by removing fnew from the mask's hash table before it is freed.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
