Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: staging: rtl8723bs: fix memory leak on failure path cfg80211_inform_bss_frame() may return NULL on failure. In that case, the allocated buffer -buf- is not freed and the function returns early, leading to potential memory leak. Fix this by ensuring that -buf- is freed on both success and failure paths.
