Subject: [PATCH v2] ubifs: fix memory leak on error condition
Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2018 22:25:58 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181115222558.19189-1-garrmcnu@gmail.com> (raw)

If the call to ubifs_read_nnode() fails in ubifs_lpt_calc_hash() an
error is returned without freeing the memory allocated to 'buf'.
Read and check the root node before allocating the buffer.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID 1441025 ("Resource leak")
