[PATCH 5.3 092/105] crypto: user - fix memory leak in crypto_reportstat

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

 



From: Navid Emamdoost <navid.emamdoost@xxxxxxxxx>

commit c03b04dcdba1da39903e23cc4d072abf8f68f2dd upstream.

In crypto_reportstat, a new skb is created by nlmsg_new(). This skb is
leaked if crypto_reportstat_alg() fails. Required release for skb is
added.

Fixes: cac5818c25d0 ("crypto: user - Implement a generic crypto statistics")
