CVSS 3.1
5.5 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2020-36782
Medium (5.5) in linux linux kernel. EPSS 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: imx-lpi2c: fix reference leak when pm_runtime_get_sync fails
The PM reference count is not expected to be incremented on
return in lpi2c_imx_master_enable.
However, pm_runtime_get_sync will increment the PM reference
count even failed. Forgetting to putting operation will result
in a reference leak here.
Replace it with pm_runtime_resume_and_get to keep usage
counter balanced.
