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: BUG: memory leak unreferenced object 0xffff8880281ba000 (size 4096): comm "syz-executor.1", pid 11443, jiffies 4295046091 (age 17.660s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 61 78 30 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ax0............. 00 27 fa 2a 80 88 ff ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 .'.*............ backtrace: [<ffffffff81a27201>] kvmalloc_node+0x61/0xf0 [<ffffffff8706e7e8>] alloc_netdev_mqs+0x98/0xe80 [<ffffffff84e64192>] mkiss_open+0xb2/0x6f0 [1] [<ffffffff842355db>] tty_ldisc_open+0x9b/0x110 [<ffffffff84236488>] tty_set_ldisc+0x2e8/0x670 [<ffffffff8421f7f3>] tty_ioctl+0xda3/0x144…
