If pm_runtime_resume_and_get()\nfails, the function returns without freeing the allocated xfer, resulting\nin a memory leak.\n\nAdd a dw_i3c_master_free_xfer() call to the error path to ensure the\nallocated memory is properly freed.\n\nCompile tested only. Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool\nand code review.","published":"2026-05-27T14:16:59.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-25T21:07:16.000Z","status":"Analyzed","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":["CWE-401"],"affected":["linux/linux kernel"],"epss":{"score":0.00156,"percentile":0.04654,"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 (0.16%).
