[PATCH v8 13/15] cfg80211: fix memory leak of new_ie

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

 



From: Sara Sharon <sara.sharon@xxxxxxxxx>

new_ie is used as a temporary storage for the generation of
the new elements. However, after copying from it the memory
wasn't freed and leaked. Free it.
