[PATCH] x86/kexec: Fix double-free of elf header buffer

From: Takashi Iwai
Date: Tue Nov 22 2022 - 06:51:31 EST


The recent fix for memory leaks forgot to clear the error path that
already does vfree() for the elf headers. This may result in a
double-free.

Drop the superfluous vfree() call at the error path of
crash_load_segments().
