Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> wifi: ath12k: Fix memory leak in rx_desc and tx_desc<br /> <br /> Currently when ath12k_dp_cc_desc_init() is called we allocate<br /> memory to rx_descs and tx_descs. In ath12k_dp_cc_cleanup(), during<br /> descriptor cleanup rx_descs and tx_descs memory is not freed.<br /> <br /> This is cause of memory leak. These allocated memory should be<br /> freed in ath12k_dp_cc_cleanup.<br /> <br /> In ath12k_dp_cc_desc_init(), we can save base address of rx_descs<br /> and tx_descs. In ath12k_dp_cc_cleanup(), we can free rx_descs and<br /> tx_descs memory using their base address.<br /> <br /> Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.0.1-00029-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
