In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: starfive - Fix memory leak in starfive_aes_aead_do_one_req()
The starfive_aes_aead_do_one_req() function allocates rctx->adata with
kzalloc() but fails to free it if sg_copy_to_buffer() or
starfive_aes_hw_init() fails, which lead to memory leaks.
Since rctx->adata is unconditionally freed after the write_adata
operations, ensure consistent cleanup by freeing the allocation in these
earlier error paths as well.
Compile tested only. Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool
and code review.
