Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
misc: ocxl: fix possible name leak in ocxl_file_register_afu()<br />
<br />
If device_register() returns error in ocxl_file_register_afu(),<br />
the name allocated by dev_set_name() need be freed. As comment<br />
of device_register() says, it should use put_device() to give<br />
up the reference in the error path. So fix this by calling<br />
put_device(), then the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup(),<br />
and info is freed in info_release().
