[patch added to 3.12-stable] UBIFS: Fix possible memory leak in ubifs_readdir()

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

 



From: Richard Weinberger <richard@xxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit aeeb14f763917ccf639a602cfbeee6957fd944a2 upstream.

If ubifs_tnc_next_ent() returns something else than -ENOENT
we leak file->private_data.
