[PATCH] usb: gadget: f_uac1: fix memory leak in f_uac1_opts_*_store
From: Robert-Andrei Mercea
Date: Thu Aug 06 2026 - 09:27:09 EST
f_uac1_opts_*_store() duplicates the page given as parameter using
kstrdup(). It parses the duplicate (stored as split_page) using
strsep(). Upon completion, it frees split_page.
strsep() mutates the string given as parameter (split_page in this
case). When it is fully parsed it becomes NULL. Instead, if an error
arises, split_page will be a pointer somewhere in the string. In both
cases, kfree() is called and the original memory is not freed.
Fix this by creating a copy of the original pointer and passing that to
kfree() instead.
