Title
nvmem: core: Fix memleak in nvmem_register()
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmem: core: Fix memleak in nvmem_register()
dev_set_name will alloc memory for nvmem->dev.kobj.name in
nvmem_register, when nvmem_validate_keepouts failed, nvmem's
memory will be freed and return, but nobody will free memory
for nvmem->dev.kobj.name, there will be memleak, so moving
nvmem_validate_keepouts() after device_register() and let
the device core deal with cleaning name in error cases.
Severity ?
No CVSS data available.
