Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.4 02/20] mac80211_hwsim: Fix memory leak in hwsim_new_radio_nl()
Date: Sat, 2 Dec 2017 15:52:51 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171202155243.7774-2-alexander.levin@verizon.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20171202155243.7774-1-alexander.levin@verizon.com>

From: Ben Hutchings <ben.hutchings@codethink.co.uk>

[ Upstream commit 67bd52386125ce1159c0581cbcd2740addf33cd4 ]

hwsim_new_radio_nl() now copies the name attribute in order to add a
null-terminator.  mac80211_hwsim_new_radio() (indirectly) copies it
again into the net_device structure, so the first copy is not used or
freed later.  Free the first copy before returning.

Fixes: ff4dd73dd2b4 ("mac80211_hwsim: check HWSIM_ATTR_RADIO_NAME length")
