- Summary
- wifi: ath11k: mhi: fix potential memory leak in ath11k_mhi_register()
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath11k: mhi: fix potential memory leak in ath11kmhiregister()
mhialloccontroller() allocates a memory space for mhictrl. When gets some error, mhictrl should be freed with mhifreecontroller(). But when ath11kmhireadaddrfromdt() fails, the function returns without calling mhifree_controller(), which will lead to a memory leak.
We can fix it by calling mhifreecontroller() when ath11kmhireadaddrfrom_dt() fails.
