NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perf package and not the perf package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

mfd: arizona: Use pm_runtime_resume_and_get() to prevent refcnt leak

In arizona_clk32k_enable(), we should use pm_runtime_resume_and_get() as pm_runtime_get_sync() will increase the refcnt even when it returns an error.
