Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> drm/vc4: fix krealloc() memory leak<br /> <br /> Don&amp;#39;t just overwrite the original pointer passed to krealloc()<br /> with its return value without checking latter:<br /> <br /> MEM = krealloc(MEM, SZ, GFP);<br /> <br /> If krealloc() returns NULL, that erases the pointer<br /> to the still allocated memory, hence leaks this memory.<br /> Instead, use a temporary variable, check it&amp;#39;s not NULL<br /> and only then assign it to the original pointer:<br /> <br /> TMP = krealloc(MEM, SZ, GFP);<br /> if (!TMP) return;<br /> MEM = TMP;<br /> <br /> While on it, use krealloc_array().
