This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled crypto: hisilicon/hpre - fix memory leak in hpre_curve25519_src_init() to the 5.15-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: crypto-hisilicon-hpre-fix-memory-leak-in-hpre_curve2.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.15 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 95930d9dde07918b15f41e0d62fe68056d78ddd8 Author: Weili Qian <qianweili@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Dec 11 16:17:19 2021 +0800 crypto: hisilicon/hpre - fix memory leak in hpre_curve25519_src_init() [ Upstream commit 51fa916b81e5f406a74f14a31a3a228c3cc060ad ] hpre_curve25519_src_init() allocates memory for 'ptr' before calling memcmp(). If memcmp() returns 0, the function will return '-EINVAL' without freeing memory.
