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->init_name but never freed on the normal removal path. device_register()<br />
copies init_name and then sets dev->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.
