Details

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

jffs2: fix memory leak in jffs2dofill_super

If jffs2iget() or dmakeroot() in jffs2dofillsuper() returns an error, we can observe the following kmemleak report:

[...]

This is because the resources allocated in jffs2suminit() are not released. Call jffs2sumexit() to release these resources to solve the problem.
