Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description A vulnerability in the Linux kernel has been resolved. The issue concerned the dmaengine and specifically the idxd component. The idxd cleanup() helper function was used to refactor the remove call, which helps in cleaning up perfmon, interrupts, internals, and more. This change also fixes the missing put device() call for idxd groups, engines, and wqs.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
