Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rxrpc: Fix error handling in rxgk_extract_token() Fix a missing bit of error handling in rxgk_extract_token(): in the event that rxgk_decrypt_skb() returns -ENOMEM, it should just return that rather than continuing on (for anything else, it generates an abort).
