The leak was verified to be real by unloading the driver, which resulted
in a dangling pointer to the allocation.

The allocated memory is freed in rtw_usb_intf_deinit().

CWE-401 Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime

The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, which slowly consumes remaining memory.
