Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's i2c imx415 media driver. When programming VMAX fails, the VBLANK path returns immediately without releasing a previously acquired runtime power management (PM) reference. This oversight can lead to a resource leak, potentially allowing a local attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) by exhausting system resources.
