- EDAC/versalnet: Fix device name memory leak
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
EDAC/versalnet: Fix device name memory leak
The device name allocated via kzalloc() in initonemc() is assigned to dev->initname but never freed on the normal removal path. deviceregister() copies initname and then sets dev->initname to NULL, so the name pointer becomes unreachable from the device. Thus leaking memory.
Use a stack-local char array instead of using kzalloc() for name.
