Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: octeon_ep: Fix memory leak in octep_device_setup() In octep_device_setup(), if octep_ctrl_net_init() fails, the function returns directly without unmapping the mapped resources and freeing the allocated configuration memory. Fix this by jumping to the unsupported_dev label, which performs the necessary cleanup. This aligns with the error handling logic of other paths in this function. Compile tested only. Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool and code review.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 6.4 < 6.6.123) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.12.69) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.18.9) • linux linux kernel 6.19
