From 67bd52386125ce1159c0581cbcd2740addf33cd4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Hutchings Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2017 18:48:50 +0000 Subject: mac80211_hwsim: Fix memory leak in hwsim_new_radio_nl() 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.
