NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream linux-5.10 package and not the linux-5.10 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

media: v4l2-mem2mem: fix a memleak in v4l2_m2m_register_entity

The entity->name (i.e. name) is allocated in v4l2_m2m_register_entity but isn't freed in its following error-handling paths. This patch adds such deallocation to prevent memleak of entity->name.
