Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hamradio: fix memory leak in mkiss_close
My local syzbot instance hit memory leak in
mkiss_open()[1]. The problem was in missing
free_netdev() in mkiss_close().
In mkiss_open() netdevice is allocated and then
registered, but in mkiss_close() netdevice was
only unregistered, but not freed.
Fail log:
