In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dccp: Fix memory leak in dccp_feat_change_recv If dccp_feat_push_confirm() fails after new value for SP feature was accepted without reconciliation ('entry == NULL' branch), memory allocated for that value with dccp_feat_clone_sp_val() is never freed.
