Re: [PATCH] gss_krb5: Fix memleak in krb5_make_rc4_seq_num

From: J. Bruce Fields <hidden>
Date: 2020-08-29 15:36:51
Also in: linux-nfs, lkml

This code is rarely if ever used, and there are pending patches to
remove it completely, so I don't think it's worth trying to fix a rare
memory leak at this point.

When kmalloc() fails, cipher should be freed
just like when krb5_rc4_setup_seq_key() fails.
