From b2262df7fcf2c395eca564df83238e931d88d7bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Wunderlich Date: Sat, 8 Feb 2014 16:45:06 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] batman-adv: fix potential orig_node reference leak Since batadv_orig_node_new() sets the refcount to two, assuming that the calling function will use a reference for putting the orig_node into a hash or similar, both references must be freed if initialization of the orig_node fails. Otherwise that object may be leaked in that error case.
