In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: asus: avoid memory leak in asusreportfixup()
The asusreportfixup() function was returning a newly allocated kmemdup()-allocated buffer, but never freeing it. Switch to devm_kzalloc() to ensure the memory is managed and freed automatically when the device is removed.
The caller of report_fixup() does not take ownership of the returned pointer, but it is permitted to return a pointer whose lifetime is at least that of the input buffer.
Also fix a harmless out-of-bounds read by copying only the original descriptor size.
