[PATCH] PCI: fix memory leak in reset_method_store()

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

 



In reset_method_store(), a string is allocated via kstrndup()
and assigned to the local "options". options is then used
in with strsep() to find spaces:

  while ((name = strsep(&options, " ")) != NULL) {

If there are no remaining spaces, then options is set to NULL
by strsep(), so the subsequent kfree(options) doesn't free the
memory allocated via kstrndup().

Fix by using a separate tmp_options to iterate with
strsep() so options is preserved.
