Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> gpib: Fix memory leak in ni_usb_init()<br /> <br /> In ni_usb_init(), if ni_usb_setup_init() fails, the function returns<br /> -EFAULT without freeing the allocated writes buffer, leading to a<br /> memory leak.<br /> <br /> Additionally, ni_usb_setup_init() returns 0 on failure, which causes<br /> ni_usb_init() to return -EFAULT, an inappropriate error code for this<br /> situation.<br /> <br /> Fix the leak by freeing writes in the error path. Modify<br /> ni_usb_setup_init() to return -EINVAL on failure and propagate this<br /> error code in ni_usb_init().
