CVE-2022-48928

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's IIO men_z188_adc.c driver, where a resource leak is present in the error handling path caused by improper cleanup management. This occurs because the function men_z188_probe() uses the function ioremap() to allocate memory, but if the function iio_device_register() fails, the function does not clean up (free) the previously mapped space, resulting in a resource leak. This vulnerability could lead to resource exhaustion over time and system instability.
