# \[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.4 05/16\] video: fbdev: neofb: fix memory leak in neo\_scan\_monitor() - From: Sasha Levin \ - Date: 2020-08-10 19:14:59 - List: linux-fbdev - Page: https://ratatoskr.run/linux-fbdev/2020/08/6065069 - Thread: https://ratatoskr.run/stable/2020/08/6065085/t.md ```text From: Evgeny Novikov [ Upstream commit edcb3895a751c762a18d25c8d9846ce9759ed7e1 ] neofb_probe() calls neo_scan_monitor() that can successfully allocate a memory for info->monspecs.modedb and proceed to case 0x03. There it does not free the memory and returns -1. neofb_probe() goes to label err_scan_monitor, thus, it does not free this memory through calling fb_destroy_modedb() as well. We can not go to label err_init_hw since neo_scan_monitor() can fail during memory allocation. So, the patch frees the memory directly for case 0x03.
