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().
