Subject: [PATCH] staging: rtl8188eu: fix potential leak in rtw_set_key()
Date: Thu, 1 May 2014 10:38:11 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140501103811.41992b00@spike> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2110 bytes --]
Fix a potential leak in the error path of rtw_set_key(). In case the requested
algorithm is not supported by the driver, the function returns without
enqueuing or freeing the already allocated command and parameter structs. Use
a centralized exit path and make sure that all memory is freed correctly.
Detected by Coverity - CID 1077716, 1077717.
