4.7 MEDIUM — CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i2c: sprd: fix reference leak when pm_runtime_get_sync fails The PM reference count is not expected to be incremented on return in sprd_i2c_master_xfer() and sprd_i2c_remove(). However, pm_runtime_get_sync will increment the PM reference count even failed. Forgetting to putting operation will result in a reference leak here. Replace it with pm_runtime_resume_and_get to keep usage counter balanced.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 4.14 < 5.4.119) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.5 < 5.10.37) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.11.21) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.12 < 5.12.4)
