Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-12-24 12:05:16 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

staging: r8712: Fix memory leak in _r8712_init_xmit_priv()

In the above mentioned routine, memory is allocated in several places.
If the first succeeds and a later one fails, the routine will leak memory.
This patch fixes commit 2865d42c78a9 ("staging: r8712u: Add the new driver
to the mainline kernel"). A potential memory leak in
r8712_xmit_resource_alloc() is also addressed.
