Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
wifi: mt76: Fix memory leak after mt76_connac_mcu_alloc_sta_req()<br />
<br />
mt76_connac_mcu_alloc_sta_req() allocates an skb which is expected to<br />
be freed eventually by mt76_mcu_skb_send_msg(). However, currently if<br />
an intermediate function fails before sending, the allocated skb is<br />
leaked.<br />
<br />
Specifically, mt76_connac_mcu_sta_wed_update() and<br />
mt76_connac_mcu_sta_key_tlv() may fail, leading to an immediate memory<br />
leak in the error path.<br />
<br />
Fix this by explicitly freeing the skb in these error paths.<br />
Commit 7c0f63fe37a5 ("wifi: mt76: mt7996: fix memory leak on<br />
mt7996_mcu_sta_key_tlv error") made a similar change.<br />
<br />
Compile tested only. Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool<br />
and code review.
