[PATCH] Double-free in cx23885_initdev

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Both cx23885_initdev and cx23885_dev_setup free the device in their error path so a failure in the latter causes a double-free. Since cx23885_dev_setup is only called from cx23885_initdev, it should be safe to remove its deallocation and leave the cleanup up to the allocating function.

Coverity CID 1922.
