Description A memory leak occurs in the mtd parser tplink safeloader parse() function. The function allocates a buffer buf using mtd parser tplink safeloader read table(). If the allocation for parts[idx].name fails during the loop execution, the system jumps to the err free label without releasing buf, resulting in a memory leak.
