In these paths, the function simply\nreturns the error code, forgetting to balance the reference count of\n\"nc->dmac\", increased earlier by dma_request_channel(), which may\ncause refcount leaks.\n\nFix it by decrementing the refcount of specific object in those error\npaths.","published":"2025-02-26T07:00:58.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T05:17:24.000Z","status":"Modified","sourceIdentifier":"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":5.5,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"},"cwe":[],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00269,"percentile":0.18964,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.27%).
