From f9a5c358c8d26fed0cc45f2afc64633d4ba21dff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nguyen Dinh Phi Date: Mon, 28 Jun 2021 21:23:34 +0800 Subject: cfg80211: Fix possible memory leak in function cfg80211_bss_update When we exceed the limit of BSS entries, this function will free the new entry, however, at this time, it is the last door to access the inputed ies, so these ies will be unreferenced objects and cause memory leak. Therefore we should free its ies before deallocating the new entry, beside of dropping it from hidden_list.
