Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's iommufd component. When the system attempts to store an Input/Output Address Space (IOAS) object and the storage operation fails, the IOAS object's associated resources, such as its write lock and object reference, are not properly released. This oversight can lead to a resource leak, which a local attacker could potentially exploit to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) condition due to resource exhaustion.
