[PATCH v2 1/2] libmultipath: prevent memory leak in alloc_path_with_pathinfo() if pp_ptr is NULL

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In alloc_path_with_pathinfo(), if the 'pp_ptr' argument is NULL
(which is acceptable and checked in the function in two places)
the 'pp' pointer is lost as it is not referenced anywhere else;
thus the memory allocated for it is leaked.

So, call free_path() in the case 'pp_ptr' is NULL too.
