Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: chips-media: wave5: Fix memory leak on codec_info allocation failure In wave5_vpu_open_enc() and wave5_vpu_open_dec(), a vpu instance is allocated via kzalloc(). If the subsequent allocation for inst->codec_info fails, the functions return -ENOMEM without freeing the previously allocated instance, causing a memory leak. Fix this by calling kfree() on the instance in this error path to ensure it is properly released.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 6.8 < 6.12.75) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.13 < 6.18.14) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.19 < 6.19.4)
