Affected: Linux

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

nfc: virtual_ncidev: Fix memory leak in virtual_nci_send()

skb should be free in virtual_nci_send(), otherwise kmemleak will report memleak.

Steps for reproduction (simulated in qemu): cd tools/testing/selftests/nci make ./nci_dev
