If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 2f01eb2bd7a923b58b6b5fdd034c499ba1ae2a3e Author: Muhammad Usama Anjum <musamaanjum@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Mar 24 19:07:53 2021 +0100 media: em28xx: fix memory leak [ Upstream commit 0ae10a7dc8992ee682ff0b1752ff7c83d472eef1 ] If some error occurs, URB buffers should also be freed. If they aren't freed with the dvb here, the em28xx_dvb_fini call doesn't frees the URB buffers as dvb is set to NULL. The function in which error occurs should do all the cleanup for the allocations it had done. Tested the patch with the reproducer provided by syzbot. This patch fixes the memleak.
