[PATCH] nl80211: [PATCH] nl80211: fix possible memory leak nl80211_connect()

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

 



From: Wei Yongjun <yongjun_wei@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

connkeys is malloced in nl80211_parse_connkeys() and should
be freed in the error handling case, otherwise it will cause
memory leak.

spatch with a semantic match is used to found this problem.
