In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fbdev: tdfxfb: fix potential memory leak in tdfxfb_probe() In tdfxfb_probe(), the memory allocated for modelist using fb_videomode_to_modelist() when CONFIG_FB_3DFX_I2C is defined, is not freed in the subsequent error paths. Fix that by calling fb_destroy_modelist().
