+Subject: [PATCH] affs: Fix memory leaks
+
+The node structure reference is being allocated but not freed if it
+reaches the end of the function. If any of the hooks had returned
+a non-zero value, then node would have been copied in to the context
+reference, but otherwise node is not stored and should be freed.
+
+Similarly, the call to grub_affs_create_node() replaces the allocated
+memory in node with a newly allocated structure, leaking the existing
+memory pointed by node.
+
+Finally, when dir->parent is set, then we again replace node with newly
+allocated memory, which seems unnecessary when we copy in the values
+from dir->parent immediately after.
+
+Fixes: CID 73759
