There is no fixed version for Centos:7 kernel-devel.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-devel package and not the kernel-devel package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

i2c: xiic: fix reference leak when pm_runtime_get_sync fails

The PM reference count is not expected to be incremented on return in xiic_xfer and xiic_i2c_remove.

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.
