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

can: esd_usb: esd_usb_read_bulk_callback(): fix URB memory leak

Fix similar memory leak as in commit 7352e1d5932a ("can: gs_usb:
gs_usb_receive_bulk_callback(): fix URB memory leak").

In esd_usb_open(), the URBs for USB-in transfers are allocated, added to
the dev->rx_submitted anchor and submitted. In the complete callback
esd_usb_read_bulk_callback(), the URBs are processed and resubmitted. In
esd_usb_close() the URBs are freed by calling
usb_kill_anchored_urbs(&dev->rx_submitted).

However, this does not take into account that the USB framework unanchors
the URB before the complete function is called. This means that once an
in-URB has been completed, it is no longer anchored and is ultimately not
released in esd_usb_close().

Fix the memory leak by anchoring the URB in the
esd_usb_read_bulk_callback() to the dev->rx_submitted anchor.
