Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> scsi: snic: Fix possible memory leak if device_add() fails<br /> <br /> If device_add() returns error, the name allocated by dev_set_name() needs<br /> be freed. As the comment of device_add() says, put_device() should be used<br /> to give up the reference in the error path. So fix this by calling<br /> put_device(), then the name can be freed in kobject_cleanp().
