Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> EDAC/versalnet: Fix device name memory leak<br /> <br /> The device name allocated via kzalloc() in init_one_mc() is assigned to<br /> dev-&gt;init_name but never freed on the normal removal path. device_register()<br /> copies init_name and then sets dev-&gt;init_name to NULL, so the name pointer<br /> becomes unreachable from the device. Thus leaking memory.<br /> <br /> Use a stack-local char array instead of using kzalloc() for name.
