- Summary
- wifi: ath12k: fix memory leak in ath12k_qmi_driver_event_work()
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath12k: fix memory leak in ath12kqmidrivereventwork()
Currently the buffer pointed by event is not freed in case ATH12KFLAGUNREGISTERING bit is set, this causes memory leak.
Add a goto skip instead of return, to ensure event and all the list entries are freed properly.
Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.0.1-00029-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
