Subject: [PATCH] x86/microcode/AMD: fix memleak in update_cache()
Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2017 12:21:23 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1500438083-15996-1-git-send-email-shuwang@redhat.com> (raw)

From: Shu Wang <shuwang@redhat.com>

Found this issue by kmemleak. The mem is allocated in
verify_and_add_patch(), passed to update_cache(patch),
and just dropped the reference without free
if (p->patch_id >= new_patch->patch_id)
    return;

unreferenced object 0xffff88010e780b40 (size 32):
  comm "bash", pid 860, jiffies 4294690939 (age 29.297s)
