Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's `starfive_aes_aead_do_one_req()` function within the crypto: starfive component. This vulnerability occurs because memory allocated for `rctx->adata` is not properly freed if `sg_copy_to_buffer()` or `starfive_aes_hw_init()` operations fail. This can lead to memory leaks, potentially impacting system stability and performance over time.
