In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rtc: class: Fix potential memleak in devm_rtc_allocate_device() devm_rtc_allocate_device() will alloc a rtc_device first, and then run dev_set_name(). If dev_set_name() failed, the rtc_device will memleak. Move devm_add_action_or_reset() in front of dev_set_name() to prevent memleak. unreferenced object 0xffff888110a53000 (size 2048): comm "python3", pid 470, jiffies 4296078308 (age 58.882s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 08 30 a5 10 81 88 ff ff .........0...... 08 30 a5 10 81 88 ff ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 .0.............. backtrace: [] kmalloc_trace+0x21/0x110 [] devm_rtc_allocate_device+0xd4/0x400 [] devm_rtc_device_register+0x1a/0x80 [] rx4581_probe+0xdd/0x110 [rtc_rx4581] [] spi_probe+0xde/0x130 [] really_probe+0x175/0x3f0 [] __driver_probe_device+0xe6/0x170 [] device_driver_attach+0x32/0x80 [] bind_store+0x10b/0x1a0 [] drv_attr_store+0x49/0x70 [] sysfs_kf_write+0x8d/0xb0 [] kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x214/0x2d0 [] vfs_write+0x61a/0x7d0 [] ksys_write+0xc8/0x190 [] do_syscall_64+0x37/0x90 [] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd
