[PATCH 3.12 008/127] UBIFS: Fix possible memory leak in ubifs_readdir()

From: Jiri Slaby
Date: Fri Nov 25 2016 - 04:11:45 EST


From: Richard Weinberger <richard@xxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit aeeb14f763917ccf639a602cfbeee6957fd944a2 upstream.

If ubifs_tnc_next_ent() returns something else than -ENOENT
we leak file->private_data.
