Medium (5.5) in linux linux kernel. EPSS 0.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rust: pwm: Fix potential memory leak on init error
When initializing a PWM chip using pwmchip_alloc(), the allocated device
owns an initial reference that must be released on all error paths.
If __pinned_init() were to fail, the allocated pwm_chip would currently
leak because the error path returns without calling pwmchip_put().
