Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
can: mcba_usb: mcba_usb_read_bulk_callback(): fix URB memory leak<br />
<br />
Fix similar memory leak as in commit 7352e1d5932a ("can: gs_usb:<br />
gs_usb_receive_bulk_callback(): fix URB memory leak").<br />
<br />
In mcba_usb_probe() -> mcba_usb_start(), the URBs for USB-in transfers are<br />
allocated, added to the priv->rx_submitted anchor and submitted. In the<br />
complete callback mcba_usb_read_bulk_callback(), the URBs are processed and<br />
resubmitted. In mcba_usb_close() -> mcba_urb_unlink() the URBs are freed by<br />
calling usb_kill_anchored_urbs(&priv->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 usb_kill_anchored_urbs().<br />
<br />
Fix the memory leak by anchoring the URB in the<br />
mcba_usb_read_bulk_callback()to the priv->rx_submitted anchor.
