[PATCH v3] fs/exfat: resolve memory leak from exfat_create_upcase_table()

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

 



    If exfat_load_upcase_table reaches end and returns -EINVAL,
    allocated memory doesn't get freed and while
    exfat_load_default_upcase_table allocates more memory, leading to a    
    memory leak.
    
    Here's link to syzkaller crash report illustrating this issue:

V2 -> V3: free(NULL) is no-op, removed if() check
V1 -> V2: Moved the mem free to create_upcase_table
