[PATCH] proc/vmcore: fix potential memory leak in vmcore_init()

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

 



elfcorehdr_alloc() allocates a memory chunk for elfcorehdr_addr with
kzalloc(). If is_vmcore_usable() returns false, elfcorehdr_addr is a
predefined value. If parse_crash_elf_headers() occurs some error and
returns a negetive value, the elfcorehdr_addr should be released with
elfcorehdr_free().

We can fix by calling elfcorehdr_free() when parse_crash_elf_headers()
fails.
