Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
drivers/base/memory: fix memory block reference leak in poison accounting<br />
<br />
memblk_nr_poison_inc() and memblk_nr_poison_sub() look up a memory block<br />
via find_memory_block_by_id(), which acquires a reference to the memory<br />
block device.<br />
<br />
Both helpers use the returned memory block without dropping that<br />
reference, leaking the device reference on each successful lookup. Drop<br />
the reference after updating nr_hwpoison.
