Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
iommufd: Fix out_fput in iommufd_fault_alloc()<br />
<br />
As fput() calls the file->f_op->release op, where fault obj and ictx are<br />
getting released, there is no need to release these two after fput() one<br />
more time, which would result in imbalanced refcounts:<br />
refcount_t: decrement hit 0; leaking memory.<br />
