CVE-2022-50477CVE-2022-50477
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rtc: class: Fix potential memleak in devm_rtc_allocate_device()
devm_rtc_allocate_device() will alloc a rtc_device first, and then run
dev_set_name(). If dev_set_name() failed, the rtc_device will memleak.
Move devm_add_action_or_reset() in front of dev_set_name() to prevent
memleak.
