Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> powerpc/pseries: fix possible memory leak in ibmebus_bus_init()<br /> <br /> If device_register() returns error in ibmebus_bus_init(), name of kobject<br /> which is allocated in dev_set_name() called in device_add() is leaked.<br /> <br /> As comment of device_add() says, it should call put_device() to drop<br /> the reference count that was set in device_initialize() when it fails,<br /> so the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup().
