From fafbc202cd3c6ff1dc77430176c4c41102ebbdfd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Juhl Date: Tue, 7 Aug 2012 21:44:54 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] staging: speakup: i18n.c: Fix leak in msg_set() If we end up returning -EINVAL from the function we will leak the memory allocated to 'newstr' which has been allocated but not yet assigned to anything. Fix the leak by properly freeing the memory again before we return.
