Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description A memory leak exists when using the debugfs lookup() function in the USB ULPI subsystem. The result of calling debugfs lookup() requires dput() to be called on it to prevent memory leaks over time. The issue is addressed by using debugfs lookup and remove() which handles the necessary logic.
