| |
From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>
The allocation of 'temp' is not kfree'd and hence there is a memory leak on each call of evm_read_xattrs. Fix this by kfree'ing it after copying data from it back to the user space buffer 'buf'.
Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1469386 ("Resource Leak")
