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.
