[PATCH 4.9 15/25] crypto: dh - fix memleak in setkey

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

 



4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Tudor-Dan Ambarus <tudor.ambarus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit ee34e2644a78e2561742bea8c4bdcf83cabf90a7 upstream.

setkey can be called multiple times during the existence
of the transformation object. In case of multiple setkey calls,
the old key was not freed and we leaked memory.
Free the old MPI key if any.
