Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
can: gs_usb: gs_usb_receive_bulk_callback(): fix URB memory leak<br />
<br />
In gs_can_open(), the URBs for USB-in transfers are allocated, added to the<br />
parent->rx_submitted anchor and submitted. In the complete callback<br />
gs_usb_receive_bulk_callback(), the URB is processed and resubmitted. In<br />
gs_can_close() the URBs are freed by calling<br />
usb_kill_anchored_urbs(parent->rx_submitted).<br />
<br />
However, this does not take into account that the USB framework unanchors<br />
the URB before the complete function is called. This means that once an<br />
in-URB has been completed, it is no longer anchored and is ultimately not<br />
released in gs_can_close().<br />
<br />
Fix the memory leak by anchoring the URB in the<br />
gs_usb_receive_bulk_callback() to the parent->rx_submitted anchor.
