In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: chips-media: wave5: Fix memory leak on codec_info allocation failure
In wave5_vpu_open_enc() and wave5_vpu_open_dec(), a vpu instance is
allocated via kzalloc(). If the subsequent allocation for inst->codec_info
fails, the functions return -ENOMEM without freeing the previously
allocated instance, causing a memory leak.
Fix this by calling kfree() on the instance in this error path to ensure
it is properly released.
