Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's `mtd: parsers` component. A memory leak occurs in the `mtd_parser_tplink_safeloader_parse()` function. This happens when a buffer is allocated but not freed if a subsequent allocation for a part name fails, leading to unreleased memory. This could potentially lead to resource exhaustion over time, impacting system stability and availability.
