    ax25: Fix refcount leak caused by setting SO_BINDTODEVICE sockopt · 1d0d1578

    [ Upstream commit bca0902e61731a75fc4860c8720168d9f1bae3b6 ]
    
    If an AX25 device is bound to a socket by setting the SO_BINDTODEVICE
    socket option, a refcount leak will occur in ax25_release().
    
    Commit 9fd75b66 ("ax25: Fix refcount leaks caused by ax25_cb_del()")
    added decrement of device refcounts in ax25_release(). In order for that
    to work correctly the refcounts must already be incremented when the
    device is bound to the socket. An AX25 device can be bound to a socket
    by either calling ax25_bind() or setting SO_BINDTODEVICE socket option.
    In both cases the refcounts should be incremented, but in fact it is done
    only in ax25_bind().
    
    This bug leads to the following issue reported by Syzkaller:

    Fix the implementation of ax25_setsockopt() by adding increment of

    the old unbound device.
