Possible memory leak in function (acpi_video_init_brightness) not freeing (br->levels)

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

 



Bug Report Filed: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88531
Linux Version [3.17-rc1]
Configuration: Default configuration for x86

Reference to source code:
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/acpi/video.c#L1033

In function (acpi_video_init_brightness) in file (drivers/acpi/video.c):

The function allocates (br->levels) pointer at line (1033) and frees
it on some paths at line (1137). However, the problem occurs when the
function returns from line (1134) where the pointer (br->levels) is
not freed. Thus, causing a memory leak when the function returns from
line (1134).
