[PATCH] cfg80211: Fix memory leak in cfg80211_inform_single_bss_data

From: Navid Emamdoost <hidden>
Date: 2019-10-27 18:05:03
Also in: linux-wireless, lkml
Subsystem: 802.11 (including cfg80211/nl80211), the rest · Maintainers: Johannes Berg, Linus Torvalds

In the implementation of cfg80211_inform_single_bss_data() the allocated
memory for ies is leaked in case of an error. Release ies if
cfg80211_bss_update() fails.

Fixes: 06aa7afaaa21 ("cfg80211: add cfg80211_inform_bss")
