## Overview

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

media: v4l2-tpg: fix some memleaks in tpg_alloc

In tpg_alloc, resources should be deallocated in each and every
error-handling paths, since they are allocated in for statements.
Otherwise there would be memleaks because tpg_free is called only when
tpg_alloc return 0.

## Affected

- `linux_kernel >= 3.18, < 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`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `linux_kernel 6.8.2`
