Subject: Re: [PATCH 5.3 09/48] slip: Fix memory leak in slip_open error path

Hello Greg,

thanks for taking care of the slip.c patches.

The original issue was reported by Jouni for "slcan.c" which is also 
referenced in this commit message. But it was probably overlooked at 
upstream time that it should go into stable too.

The slcan.c fix is here:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=ed50e1600b4483c049ce76e6bd3b665a6a9300ed

Best regards,
Oliver
