Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: netdevsim: fix memory leak in nsim_drv_probe() when nsim_dev_resources_register() failed If some items in nsim_dev_resources_register() fail, memory leak will occur. The following is the memory leak information. unreferenced object 0xffff888074c02600 (size 128): comm "echo", pid 8159, jiffies 4294945184 (age 493.530s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 40 47 ea 89 ff ff ff ff 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 @G.............. ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ................ backtrace: [<0000000011a31c98>] kmalloc_trace+0x22/0x60 [<0000000027384c69>] devl_resource_register+0x144/0x4e0 [<00000000a16db248>] nsim_drv_probe+0x37a/0x1260 [<000000007d1f448c>] really_probe+0x20b/0xb10 [<00000000c416848a>] __driver_probe_device+0x1b3/0x4a0 [<00000000077e0351>] driver_probe_device+0x49/0x140 [<0000000054f2465a>] __device_attach_driver+0x18c/0x2a0 [<000000008538f359>] bus_for_each_drv+0x151/0x1d0 [<0000000038e09747>] __device_attach+0x1c9/0x4e0 [<00000000dd86e533>] bus_probe_device+0x1d5/0x280 [<00000000839bea35>] device_add+0xae0/0x1cb0 [<000000009c2abf46>] new_device_store+0x3b6/0x5f0 [<00000000fb823d7f>] bus_attr_store+0x72/0xa0 [<000000007acc4295>] sysfs_kf_write+0x106/0x160 [<000000005f50cb4d>] kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x3a8/0x5a0 [<0000000075eb41bf>] vfs_write+0x8f0/0xc80
