Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: pinconf-generic: Fix memory leak in pinconf_generic_parse_dt_config()
In pinconf_generic_parse_dt_config(), if parse_dt_cfg() fails, it returns
directly. This bypasses the cleanup logic and results in a memory leak of
the cfg buffer.
Fix this by jumping to the out label on failure, ensuring kfree(cfg) is
called before returning.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.19.1 < 6.19.7)
• linux linux kernel 6.19
• linux linux kernel 7.0
