Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
net: mctp: fix device leak on probe failure<br />
<br />
Driver core holds a reference to the USB interface and its parent USB<br />
device while the interface is bound to a driver and there is no need to<br />
take additional references unless the structures are needed after<br />
disconnect.<br />
<br />
This driver takes a reference to the USB device during probe but does<br />
not to release it on probe failures.<br />
<br />
Drop the redundant device reference to fix the leak, reduce cargo<br />
culting, make it easier to spot drivers where an extra reference is<br />
needed, and reduce the risk of further memory leaks.
