Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> wifi: cfg80211: fix memory leak in query_regdb_file()<br /> <br /> In the function query_regdb_file() the alpha2 parameter is duplicated<br /> using kmemdup() and subsequently freed in regdb_fw_cb(). However,<br /> request_firmware_nowait() can fail without calling regdb_fw_cb() and<br /> thus leak memory.
