Hello Greg,
thanks for taking care of the slip.c patches.
The original issue was reported by Jouni for "slcan.c" which is also
referenced in this commit message. But it was probably overlooked at
upstream time that it should go into stable too.
The slcan.c fix is here:

Best regards,
Oliver

Driver/net/can/slcan.c is derived from slip.c. Memory leak was detected
by Syzkaller in slcan. Same issue exists in slip.c and this patch is
addressing the leak in slip.c.
Here is the slcan memory leak trace reported by Syzkaller:
