In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

media: chips-media: wave5: Fix memory leak on codec info allocation failure

In wave5 vpu open enc() and wave5 vpu open dec(), a vpu instance is allocated via kzalloc(). If the subsequent allocation for inst->codec info fails, the functions return -ENOMEM without freeing the previously allocated instance, causing a memory leak.

Fix this by calling kfree() on the instance in this error path to ensure it is properly released.
