Fix that as well.\n\nThe reference leak was identified by a static analysis tool I developed\nand confirmed by manual review. The incorrect cleanup call was found\nduring code inspection."}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/media/test-drivers/vivid/vivid-core.c"],"versions":[{"version":"f46d740fb0258982f00ffdbddc6486e674edafb5","lessThan":"4385092a86b94e1f332db35a3766108978c0722f","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"f46d740fb0258982f00ffdbddc6486e674edafb5","lessThan":"1349af7f87df57940619f5b87990b799dac9ed8a","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"f46d740fb0258982f00ffdbddc6486e674edafb5","lessThan":"6d51ad8f1c50c50d1abcc97fd243179967184c6a","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"f46d740fb0258982f00ffdbddc6486e674edafb5","lessThan":"a07c179a92e949172ca52f6d4a13202ea88cd4b7","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/media/test-drivers/vivid/vivid-core.c"],"versions":[{"version":"4.1","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"4.1","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.101","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.42","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.1.6","lessThanOrEqual":"7.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.1","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.101"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.1","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.42"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.1","versionEndExcluding":"7.1.6"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.1","versionEndExcluding":"7.2"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4385092a86b94e1f332db35a3766108978c0722f"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1349af7f87df57940619f5b87990b799dac9ed8a"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6d51ad8f1c50c50d1abcc97fd243179967184c6a"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a07c179a92e949172ca52f6d4a13202ea88cd4b7"}],"title":"media: vivid: fix cleanup bugs in vivid_init()","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
