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

Description A memory leak exists in the dmaengine subsystem, specifically within the apple-admac component. The issue occurs during the termination process where the current tx descriptor is not properly freed, leading to a memory leak. This happens because the descriptor is removed from the 'issued' list when assigned as the current descriptor, but is not explicitly queued for freeing.
