In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
net: liquidio: Fix off-by-one error in VF setup_nic_devices() cleanup<br />
<br />
In setup_nic_devices(), the initialization loop jumps to the label<br />
setup_nic_dev_free on failure. The current cleanup loop while(i--)<br />
skip the failing index i, causing a memory leak.<br />
