However, the early failure path after the first acquire_bus()\ncall uses a bare 'return ret;', which leaks dma_buffer whenever the bus\nacquire fails.\n\nReplace the early return with goto fail so the existing cleanup path\nruns.\n\nFound via a custom Coccinelle semantic patch hunting for kmalloc'd\nlocals leaked on early-return error paths in driver firmware-download\ncode."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/wlan.c"],"versions":[{"version":"1241c5650ff7a0236cebb89acca8aade48839fd6","lessThan":"95c82d498d74c4e587db30021ca1aec90e29b5a5","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"1241c5650ff7a0236cebb89acca8aade48839fd6","lessThan":"32d7584441b9ecb279a03653b432612546e5efbe","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"1241c5650ff7a0236cebb89acca8aade48839fd6","lessThan":"dd7b6a8671939708cc4b7a46786d8c11297e8f69","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/net/wireless/microchip/wilc1000/wlan.c"],"versions":[{"version":"6.13","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.13","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.34","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.0.11","lessThanOrEqual":"7.0.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.1","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.13","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.34"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.13","versionEndExcluding":"7.0.11"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.13","versionEndExcluding":"7.1"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/95c82d498d74c4e587db30021ca1aec90e29b5a5"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/32d7584441b9ecb279a03653b432612546e5efbe"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dd7b6a8671939708cc4b7a46786d8c11297e8f69"}],"title":"wifi: wilc1000: fix dma_buffer leak on bus acquire failure","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
