Technical description

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

spi: qup: Don't skip cleanup in remove's error path

Returning early in a platform driver's remove callback is wrong. In this

case the dma resources are not released in the error path. this is never

retried later and so this is a permanent leak. To fix this, only skip

hardware disabling if waking the device fails.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
