Subject: [2.4] Memleak in drivers/scsi/cpqfcTSinit.c::cpqfcTS_ioctl()
Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2003 21:49:27 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030313184927.GA2423@linuxhacker.ru> (raw)
Hello!
There is a trivial memleak in drivers/scsi/cpqfcTSinit.c::cpqfcTS_ioctl()
on error exit paths if copy_to/from_user fails, see the patch below.
Found with help of smatch + enhanced unfree script.
Bye,
Oleg
