Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
nvmem: core: Fix memleak in nvmem_register()<br />
<br />
dev_set_name will alloc memory for nvmem->dev.kobj.name in<br />
nvmem_register, when nvmem_validate_keepouts failed, nvmem&#39;s<br />
memory will be freed and return, but nobody will free memory<br />
for nvmem->dev.kobj.name, there will be memleak, so moving<br />
nvmem_validate_keepouts() after device_register() and let<br />
the device core deal with cleaning name in error cases.
