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.
