Subject: [PATCH] virt: vbox: fix memory leak in hgcm_call_preprocess_linaddr
Git-commit: e0b0cb9388642c104838fac100a4af32745621e2
Patch-mainline: v5.4-rc3
References: CVE-2019-19048 bsc#1157720 bnc#1151927 5.3.9
In hgcm_call_preprocess_linaddr memory is allocated for bounce_buf but
is not released if copy_form_user fails. In order to prevent memory leak
in case of failure, the assignment to bounce_buf_ret is moved before the
error check. This way the allocated bounce_buf will be released by the
caller.
