Description Daniel Marjamäki 2008-05-10 05:36:42 UTC

The 'reply' is not deallocated if skb becomes NULL:

	struct audit_reply *reply = kmalloc(sizeof(struct audit_reply),
					    GFP_KERNEL);

	if (!reply)
		return;

	skb = audit_make_reply(pid, seq, type, done, multi, payload, size);
	if (!skb)
		return;
