Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
A resource leak in the Linux kernel has been resolved. The issue occurs when
acpi i2c find adapter by handle() calls bus find device(), which takes a reference on the adapter that is never released, resulting in a reference count leak and rendering the adapter unremovable. The fix involves putting the adapter after creating the client in the same manner as it is done for OF.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
