Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: memory: mtk-smi: fix device leak on larb probe Make sure to drop the reference taken when looking up the SMI device during larb probe on late probe failure (e.g. probe deferral) and on driver unbind.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's memory management for MediaTek (MTK) SMI devices has been addressed. The issue involved a device reference leak during the LARB probe process, particularly on late probe failures and when drivers were unbound. This vulnerability affected several versions of the Linux kernel.
