CVE-2022-49949

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> firmware_loader: Fix memory leak in firmware upload<br /> <br /> In the case of firmware-upload, an instance of struct fw_upload is<br /> allocated in firmware_upload_register(). This data needs to be freed<br /> in fw_dev_release(). Create a new fw_upload_free() function in<br /> sysfs_upload.c to handle the firmware-upload specific memory frees<br /> and incorporate the missing kfree call for the fw_upload structure.
