From 722d26680af10bd128b5228ba23e5d11ef2256c4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Linville Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2015 14:45:45 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] mwifiex: avoid freeing improper pointer in mwifiex_set_wowlan_mef_entry mwifiex_set_wowlan_mef_entry attempts to free a passed-in pointer in case of an error. The only caller (mwifiex_set_mef_filter) passes that pointer as an offset into allocated memory, so any attempt to free that will not be the actual allocated pointer. Address this by changing mwifiex_set_wowlan_mef_entry to not do any free, and to cause mwifiex_set_mef_filter to do the appropriate free if the call to mwifiex_set_wowlan_mef_entry fails.
