Subject: [PATCH v2] thermal/lib: Fix memory leak on error in thermal_genl_auto()
Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2024 16:26:29 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241024142629.1146298-1-daniel.lezcano@linaro.org> (raw)

The function thermal_genl_auto() does not free the allocated message
in the error path. Fix that by putting a out label and jump to it
which will free the message instead of directly returning an error.

Reported-by: Lukasz Luba <lukasz.luba@arm.com>\a
Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano@linaro.org>

  Changelog:
    - V2:
      - Return when the allocation fails instead of going to the out
        label resulting in a NULL pointer passed to nlmsg_free()
