Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommufd: Fix out_fput in iommufd_fault_alloc()
As fput() calls the file->f_op->release op, where fault obj and ictx are getting released, there is no need to release these two after fput() one more time, which would result in imbalanced refcounts: refcount_t: decrement hit 0; leaking memory. WARNING: CPU: 48 PID: 2369 at lib/refcount.c:31 refcount_warn_saturate+0x60/0x230 Call trace: refcount_warn_saturate+0x60/0x230 (P) refcount_warn_saturate+0x60/0x230 (L) iommufd_fault_fops_release+0x9c/0xe0 [iommufd] ...
