In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

media: cec: core: Fix kmemleak due to missed rc_free_device() call

The commit dccc0c3ddf8f ("media: rc: fix race between unregister and
urb/irq callbacks") removed the implicit call to rc_free_device() from
rc_unregister_device(). However, the commit missed to remove the NULL
assignment of adap->rc that is now causing rc_free_device() to never be
called on an allocated rc device.

kmemleak reports following after e.g. dw-hdmi unbind:

Remove the assignment of adap->rc to NULL to let cec_delete_adapter()
free the allocated rc device after last user of the cec device exits to
fix the kmemleak.
