## Overview

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

media: go7007: fix a memleak in go7007_load_encoder

In go7007_load_encoder, bounce(i.e. go->boot_fw), is allocated without
a deallocation thereafter. After the following call chain:

saa7134_go7007_init
  |-> go7007_boot_encoder
        |-> go7007_load_encoder
  |-> kfree(go)

go is freed and thus bounce is leaked.

## Affected

- `linux_kernel >= 3.10, < 4.19.311`
- `linux_kernel >= 4.20, < 5.4.273`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.5, < 5.10.214`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.11, < 5.15.153`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.16, < 6.1.83`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.2, < 6.6.23`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.7, < 6.7.11`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.8, < 6.8.2`
- `debian_linux = 10.0`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `linux_kernel 6.8.2`
