[PATCH 6.1 285/440] char: tpm: Fix possible memory leak in tpm_bios_measurements_open()

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

 



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

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

From: Joe Hattori <joe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 5d8e2971e817bb64225fc0b6327a78752f58a9aa upstream.

In tpm_bios_measurements_open(), get_device() is called on the device
embedded in struct tpm_chip. In the error path, however, put_device() is
not called. This results in a reference count leak, which prevents the
device from being properly released. This commit makes sure to call
put_device() when the seq_open() call fails.
