In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: etas_es58x: es58x_read_bulk_callback(): fix RX buffer leak on URB resubmit failure
es58x_read_bulk_callback() resubmits the RX URB after processing a received
packet. If the resubmit succeeds, the URB remains anchored and will be
handled by the normal RX path or by teardown.
However, if usb_submit_urb() fails, the callback unanchors the URB and then
returns directly. This skips the existing free_urb path, so the coherent
transfer buffer allocated with usb_alloc_coherent() is not released.
Reuse the existing free_urb path after a resubmit failure so that the RX
coherent buffer is freed before leaving the callback.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's `can: etas_es58x` module. A memory leak occurs in the `es58x_read_bulk_callback()` function when an Urban Request Block (URB) resubmission fails. This failure prevents the proper release of the associated receive (RX) buffer, leading to a gradual exhaustion of system memory. This can ultimately result in a denial of service (DoS) for affected systems.
