Thorsten Blum 76307bb571 scsi: hpsa: Fix potential memory leak in hpsa_big_passthru_ioctl()
commit b81296591c567b12d3873b05a37b975707959b94 upstream.

Replace kmalloc() followed by copy_from_user() with memdup_user() to fix
a memory leak that occurs when copy_from_user(buff[sg_used],,) fails and
the 'cleanup1:' path does not free the memory for 'buff[sg_used]'. Using
memdup_user() avoids this by freeing the memory internally.

Since memdup_user() already allocates memory, use kzalloc() in the else
branch instead of manually zeroing 'buff[sg_used]' using memset(0).

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
