Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rtlwifi: pci: fix error path in rtl_pci_probe()
In the last error path in rtl_pci_probe(), the cleanup functions are skipped due to a wrong goto label. Moreover, the successful call to rtl_init_rfkill(), ieee80211_register_hw(), rtl_debug_add_one() have to be reverted. Fix this issue by updating the labels and adding the relevant cleanup functions to the last error path.
