That leaks on two paths:\n\n - the return value is not checked, and hci_cmd_sync_queue() does not\n   take ownership when it fails (-ENETDOWN, -ENODEV, -ENOMEM);\n\n - a cancelled entry is not released, as _hci_cmd_sync_cancel_entry()\n   does not free entry->data when there is no destroy callback.\n   hci_cmd_sync_clear() cancels every pending entry when the controller\n   is unregistered.\n\nFree the buffer from a destroy callback, and in the caller when the entry\ncould not be queued at all.","cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"cvssVector":null,"cwes":[],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/120d8dc042e3d45073bb6e50ee7b058a0b182627","tags":[]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/193182c6467f508a8a61d5db506d796ffed6eee6","tags":[]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2e3d827cd56865c14f6ca118bbccd7801091fb21","tags":[]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9c3b6c1413bd0b4993642d987616331f84d9b7f5","tags":[]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bb5ca1cc7744c41c59002bd6523714a685ae6595","tags":[]},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c2019224a766245b7db39d87fdfe84c3fdc879d9","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[],"hasPoc":false,"ai":null}
