TLDRVuln - Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities Made Simple

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

siox: fix possible memory leak in siox_device_add()

If device_register() returns error in siox_device_add(),

the name allocated by dev_set_name() need be freed. As

comment of device_register() says, it should use put_device()

to give up the reference in the error path. So fix this

by calling put_device(), then the name can be freed in

kobject_cleanup(), and sdevice is freed in siox_device_release(),

set it to null in error path.
