A memory leak vulnerability in the Linux kernel's firewire core component was fixed. The issue occurred in the error path of the build_tree() function, where node instances could remain allocated in a local linked list when the function returned. This could lead to unreleased memory when invalid values were detected in the self ID sequence. The fix ensures that all allocated node instances are properly released before returning.
