Subject: [PATCH v2 2/5] staging: rtl8188eu: fix potential leak in rtw_wx_set_enc_ext()
Date: Wed, 7 May 2014 21:31:20 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140507213120.27fc914f@spike> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20140507212825.2289e00e@spike>
Function rtw_wx_set_enc_ext() dynamically allocates a temporary buffer that
is not freed in all error paths. Use a centralized exit path and make sure
that all memory is freed correctly. Detected by Coverity - CID 1077712.
