Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
auxdisplay: hd44780: Fix potential memory leak in hd44780_remove()<br />
<br />
hd44780_probe() allocates a memory chunk for hd with kzalloc() and<br />
makes "lcd->drvdata->hd44780" point to it. When we call hd44780_remove(),<br />
we should release all relevant memory and resource. But "lcd->drvdata<br />
->hd44780" is not released, which will lead to a memory leak.<br />
<br />
We should release the "lcd->drvdata->hd44780" in hd44780_remove() to fix<br />
the memory leak bug.
