What it is

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

ntfs: fix hole runlist memory leak in insert range error path

ntfs_non_resident_attr_insert_range() allocates hole_rl before mapping the

whole runlist. If ntfs_attr_map_whole_runlist() fails, the error path drops

ni->runlist.lock and returns without freeing hole_rl. This leaks memory

of sizeof(*hole_rl) * 2 bytes.

Fix this memory leak by freeing hole_rl before returning from

that error path, matching the later error paths in the same function.
