Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
mtd: spinand: fix memory leak of ECC engine conf<br />
<br />
Memory allocated for the ECC engine conf is not released during spinand<br />
cleanup. Below kmemleak trace is seen for this memory leak:<br />
<br />
unreferenced object 0xffffff80064f00e0 (size 8):<br />
comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294937458<br />
