Subject: [PATCH] Double-free in cx23885_initdev
Date: Sat, 13 Oct 2007 10:49:52 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4710DB10.2000107@gmail.com> (raw)
Both cx23885_initdev and cx23885_dev_setup free the device in their
error path so a failure in the latter causes a double-free. Since
cx23885_dev_setup is only called from cx23885_initdev, it should be safe
to remove its deallocation and leave the cleanup up to the allocating
function.
Coverity CID 1922.
