Linux Kernel mt76 Memory Leak Vulnerability in mt7915 Component

A vulnerability leading to a potential memory leak has been identified in the Linux kernel's mt76 subsystem, specifically within the mt7915 component. The issue arises in the mt7915_mcu_add_sta function, where a Free allocated socket buffer (skb) may not be properly released in the event of a failure, creating a memory leak.

Impact

The vulnerability can cause a memory leak, where allocated memory is not properly freed, potentially leading to increased memory usage and degradation of system performance over time.
