[PATCH 4.9 068/129] media: dvb-core: fix a memory leak bug

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Oct 03 2019 - 12:03:26 EST


From: Wenwen Wang <wenwen@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit fcd5ce4b3936242e6679875a4d3c3acfc8743e15 ]

In dvb_create_media_entity(), 'dvbdev->entity' is allocated through
kzalloc(). Then, 'dvbdev->pads' is allocated through kcalloc(). However, if
kcalloc() fails, the allocated 'dvbdev->entity' is not deallocated, leading
to a memory leak bug. To fix this issue, free 'dvbdev->entity' before
returning -ENOMEM.
