Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mISDN: fix possible memory leak in mISDN_dsp_element_register() Afer commit 1fa5ae857bb1 ("driver core: get rid of struct device's bus_id string array"), the name of device is allocated dynamically, use put_device() to give up the reference, so that the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup() when the refcount is 0. The 'entry' is going to be freed in mISDN_dsp_dev_release(), so the kfree() is removed. list_del() is called in mISDN_dsp_dev_release(), so it need be initialized.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 2.6.30 < 4.9.334) • linux linux kernel (>= 4.10 < 4.14.300) • linux linux kernel (>= 4.15 < 4.19.267) • linux linux kernel (>= 4.20 < 5.4.225) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.5 < 5.10.156) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.80) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.0.10) • linux linux kernel 6.1
