Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> HID: asus: avoid memory leak in asus_report_fixup()<br /> <br /> The asus_report_fixup() function was returning a newly allocated<br /> kmemdup()-allocated buffer, but never freeing it. Switch to<br /> devm_kzalloc() to ensure the memory is managed and freed automatically<br /> when the device is removed.<br /> <br /> The caller of report_fixup() does not take ownership of the returned<br /> pointer, but it is permitted to return a pointer whose lifetime is at<br /> least that of the input buffer.<br /> <br /> Also fix a harmless out-of-bounds read by copying only the original<br /> descriptor size.
