CVE-2022-50342

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

floppy: Fix memory leak in do_floppy_init()

A memory leak was reported when floppy_alloc_disk() failed in
do_floppy_init().

If the floppy_alloc_disk() failed, disks of current drive will not be set,
thus the lastest allocated set->tag cannot be freed in the error handling
path. A simple call graph shown as below:

 floppy_module_init()
   floppy_init()
     do_floppy_init()
       for (drive = 0; drive < N_DRIVE; drive++)
         blk_mq_alloc_tag_set()
           blk_mq_alloc_tag_set_tags()
             blk_mq_realloc_tag_set_tags() # set->tag allocated
         floppy_alloc_disk()
           blk_mq_alloc_disk() # error occurred, disks failed to allocated

       ->out_put_disk:
       for (drive = 0; drive < N_DRIVE; drive++)
         if (!disks[drive][0]) # the last disks is not set and loop break
           break;
         blk_mq_free_tag_set() # the latest allocated set->tag leaked

Fix this problem by free the set->tag of current drive before jump to
error handling path.

CWE-401 Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime

The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, which slowly consumes remaining memory.
