Executive Summary

This vulnerability is related to the Linux kernel's USB driver (dwc3). Specifically, the dwc3_get_properties() function calls power_supply_get_by_name(usb_psy_name) but does not properly clean up resources on error paths, leading to some resource leaks during the probe process.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can cause resource leaks in the Linux kernel's USB driver, which may lead to increased memory usage or instability in the system when USB devices are initialized or probed.
