CVE-2023-53696
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla2xxx: Fix memory leak in qla2x00_probe_one()
There is a memory leak reported by kmemleak:
The root cause is traced to an error-handling path in qla2x00_probe_one() when the adapter "base_vha" initialize failed. The fab_scan_rp "scan.l" is used to record the port information and it is allocated in qla2x00_create_host(). However, it is not released in the error handling path "probe_failed".
Fix this by freeing the memory of "scan.l" when an error occurs in the adapter initialization process.
