  "summary": "wifi: iwlegacy: 3945: free EEPROM data on remove",
  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nwifi: iwlegacy: 3945: free EEPROM data on remove\n\nil3945_pci_probe() calls il_eeprom_init(), which allocates memory for\nthe EEPROM data. The probe failure paths release this allocation with\nil_eeprom_free(), but the remove path does not free it after a\nsuccessful probe.\n\nAs a result, the EEPROM data is leaked when the PCI device is removed.\n\nFree the EEPROM data in il3945_pci_remove() before releasing the\nmac80211 hardware structure.\n\nThis issue was found by manual code inspection.",
