From 1b0bcbcf62884959fa7214eb16c44cff445691c6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pedro Scarapicchia Junior Date: Mon, 9 May 2011 14:10:49 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net/9p/protocol.c: Fix a memory leak When p9pdu_readf() is called with "s" attribute, it allocates a pointer that will store a string. In p9dirent_read(), this pointer is not being released, leading to out of memory errors. This patch releases this pointer after string is copyed to dirent->d_name.
