CVE-2023-52698

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

calipso: fix memory leak in netlblcalipsoadd_pass()

If IPv6 support is disabled at boot (ipv6.disable=1), the calipsoinit() -> netlblcalipsoopsregister() function isn't called, and the netlblcalipsoopsget() function always returns NULL. In this case, the netlblcalipsoaddpass() function allocates memory for the doidef variable but doesn't free it with the calipsodoi_free().
