In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: dvb-usb: fix memory leak in dvbusbadapterinit() Syzbot reports a memory leak in "dvbusbadapterinit()". The leak is due to not accounting for and freeing current iteration's adapter->priv in case of an error. Currently if an error occurs, it will exit before incrementing "numadaptersinitalized", which is used as a reference counter to free all adap->priv in "dvbusbadapterexit()". There are multiple error paths that can exit from before incrementing the counter. Including the error handling paths for "dvbusbadapterstreaminit()", "dvbusbadapterdvbinit()" and "dvbusbadapterfrontendinit()" within "dvbusbadapterinit()". This means that in case of an error in any of these functions the current iteration is not accounted for and the current iteration's adap->priv is not freed. Fix this by freeing the current iteration's adap->priv in the "streaminiterr:" label in the error path. The rest of the (accounted for) adap->priv objects are freed in dvbusbadapterexit() as expected using the numadaptersinitalized variable.
