Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mt76: mt7915: Fix PCI device refcount leak in mt7915_pci_init_hif2()
As comment of pci_get_device() says, it returns a pci_device with its
refcount increased. We need to call pci_dev_put() to decrease the
refcount. Save the return value of pci_get_device() and call
pci_dev_put() to decrease the refcount.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 5.12 < 6.0.16)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.1 < 6.1.2)
