| |
Hi,
In drivers/isdn/gigaset/capi.c::do_disconnect_req() we will leak the memory allocated (with kmalloc) to 'b3cmsg' if the call to alloc_skb() fails.
... b3cmsg = kmalloc(sizeof(*b3cmsg), GFP_KERNEL); allocation here ------^ if (!b3cmsg) { dev_err(cs->dev, "%s: out of memory\n", __func__); send_conf(iif, ap, skb, CAPI_MSGOSRESOURCEERR); return; } capi_cmsg_header(b3cmsg, ap->id, CAPI_DISCONNECT_B3, CAPI_IND, ap->nextMessageNumber++, cmsg->adr.adrPLCI | (1 << 16)); b3cmsg->Reason_B3 = CapiProtocolErrorLayer1; b3skb = alloc_skb(CAPI_DISCONNECT_B3_IND_BASELEN, GFP_KERNEL); if (b3skb == NULL) { dev_err(cs->dev, "%s: out of memory\n", __func__); send_conf(iif, ap, skb, CAPI_MSGOSRESOURCEERR); return; leak here ------^ ...
This leak is easily fixed by just kfree()'ing the memory allocated to 'b3cmsg' right before we return. The following patch does that.
