Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> USB: dwc3: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()<br /> <br /> When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it,<br /> otherwise the memory will leak over time. To make things simpler, just<br /> call debugfs_lookup_and_remove() instead which handles all of the logic<br /> at once.<br /> <br /> Note, the root dentry for the debugfs directory for the device needs to<br /> be saved so we don&amp;#39;t have to keep looking it up, which required a bit<br /> more refactoring to properly create and remove it when needed.
