In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix possible memory leak in btrfs_get_dev_args_from_path()
In btrfs_get_dev_args_from_path(), btrfs_get_bdev_and_sb() can fail if
the path is invalid. In this case, btrfs_get_dev_args_from_path()
returns directly without freeing args->uuid and args->fsid allocated
before, which causes memory leak.
To fix these possible leaks, when btrfs_get_bdev_and_sb() fails,
btrfs_put_dev_args_from_path() is called to clean up the memory.
