Subject: [PATCH] staging: dgap: fix memory leak in dgap_parsefile()
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2015 11:39:45 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1443593385-7124-1-git-send-email-ronit.crj@gmail.com> (raw)

In dgap_parsefile() char pointers are set with kstrdup()
without checking that some string is allocated to that
char pointer before. This patch frees the memory if already allocated
and then set the poniter with kstrdup().
