In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kunit: executor: Fix a memory leak on failure in kunitfiltertests
It's possible that memory allocation for 'filtered' will fail, but for the copy of the suite to succeed. In this case, the copy could be leaked.
Properly free 'copy' in the error case for the allocation of 'filtered' failing.
Note that there may also have been a similar issue in kunitfiltersubsuites, before it was removed in "kunit: flatten kunitsuite* to kunitsuite in .kunittestsuites".
This was reported by clang-analyzer via the kernel test robot, here: https://lore.kernel.org/all/c8073b8e-7b9e-0830-4177-87c12f16349c@intel.com/
