Description

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

fbdev: smscufx: fix error handling code in ufx_usb_probe

The current error handling code in ufx_usb_probe have many unmatching
issues, e.g., missing ufx_free_usb_list, destroy_modedb label should
only include framebuffer_release, fb_dealloc_cmap only matches
fb_alloc_cmap.

My local syzkaller reports a memory leak bug:
