[PATCH] tpm: Fix auth session leak in tpm2_get_random() error path
From: Gunnar Kudrjavets
Date: Thu Apr 02 2026 - 14:18:33 EST
When tpm_buf_fill_hmac_session() fails inside the do-while loop in
tpm2_get_random(), the function returns directly after destroying the
buffer, without ending the auth session via tpm2_end_auth_session().
This leaks the TPM auth session resource. All other error paths within
the loop correctly reach the 'out' label which calls both
tpm_buf_destroy() and tpm2_end_auth_session().
Fix this by replacing the early return with a goto to the existing 'out'
label, which already handles both cleanup operations. The redundant
tpm_buf_destroy() call is removed since 'out' takes care of it.
Fixes: 6e9722e9a7bf ("tpm2-sessions: Fix out of range indexing in name_size")
