Subject: [PATCH master 31/39] efi: payload: fix possible memory leaks during init
Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2026 09:44:31 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260216084758.3548990-32-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260216084758.3548990-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>
efi_get_boot(): buf from efi_get_global_var() is never freed after
parsing the Boot variable. Add free(buf) before return.
efi_late_init(): the flat DTB blob from read_file() is never freed
after of_unflatten_dtb() creates the unflattened tree. Free it
immediately after unflattening.
