Subject: [PATCH 2/3] ACPI / Battery: avoid acpi_battery_add() use-after-free
Date: Tue, 12 Jul 2011 09:03:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1310457809-2731-3-git-send-email-stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1310457809-2731-1-git-send-email-stefanha@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
When acpi_battery_add_fs() fails the error handling code does not clean
up completely. Moreover, it does not return resulting in a
use-after-free.
