Subject: [PATCH] of: fdt: fix double free in fdt_ensure_space
Date: Sun, 15 Feb 2026 18:24:19 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260215172423.2658304-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
fdt_ensure_space() frees the original buffer on memalign_realloc()
failure, but on error, the buffer is already freed by
memalign_realloc() unlike realloc().
Fix this by aligning memalign_realloc() behavior with normal realloc()
and adapting callers accordingly.
Fixes: dd36494ae2 ("of: fdt: fix memory leak in fdt_ensure_space")
