Memory leaks in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/htc_hst.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.11 allow attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering wait_for_completion_timeout() failures. This affects the htc_config_pipe_credits() function, the htc_setup_complete() function, and the htc_connect_service() function, aka CID-853acf7caf10.

CVE-2019-19073 kernel: Memory leaks in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/htc_hst.c in the Linux kernel (DOS)
Memory leaks in the kernels implementation of Host/Target communications of the atheros wifi driver in the Linux kernel which allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering wait_for_completion_timeout() failures during device initialisation or USB device probing.
This affects the htc_config_pipe_credits() function, the htc_setup_complete() function, and the htc_connect_service() function.

## Abstract
Identifying recurring vulnerabilities is crucial for ensuring software security.
Clone-based techniques, while widely used, often generate many false alarms due to the existence of similar but patched (SBP) code, which is similar to vulnerable
