Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's amlogic-spisg component. When the aml_spisg_probe() function, which initializes the SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) driver, encounters an error during setup, it fails to release allocated memory. This oversight leads to a memory leak. Over time, repeated failures can exhaust system resources, potentially causing system instability or a Denial of Service (DoS).
