Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: airspy: fix memory leak in airspy probe
The commit ca9dc8d06ab6 ("media: airspy: respect the DMA coherency
rules") moves variable buf from stack to heap, however, it only frees
buf in the error handling code, missing deallocation in the success
path.
Fix this by freeing buf in the success path since this variable does not
have any references in other code.
