Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: power: supply: ab8500: Fix memory leak in ab8500_fg_sysfs_init kobject_init_and_add() takes reference even when it fails. According to the doc of kobject_init_and_add()： If this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to properly clean up the memory associated with the object. Fix memory leak by calling kobject_put().
