This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled gss_krb5: Fix the error handling path for crypto_sync_skcipher_setkey to the 6.1-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: gss_krb5-fix-the-error-handling-path-for-crypto_sync.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit cdde8597d2bab6d9162f5534b351ec63b6b6da40 Author: Gaosheng Cui <cuigaosheng1@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Jul 6 14:50:08 2024 +0800 gss_krb5: Fix the error handling path for crypto_sync_skcipher_setkey [ Upstream commit a3123341dc358952ce2bf8067fbdfb7eaadf71bb ] If we fail to call crypto_sync_skcipher_setkey, we should free the memory allocation for cipher, replace err_return with err_free_cipher to free the memory of cipher.
