Description

A flaw was found in the arm_scmi firmware component of the Linux kernel. This vulnerability occurs when a transport channel setup succeeds but the subsequent IDR (ID allocator) insertion fails. In such a scenario, the error handling path incorrectly destroys the transport device and frees channel information without invoking the necessary transport cleanup callback. This oversight can lead to a resource leak, as transport-specific resources like Interrupt ReQuests (IRQs), mailbox channels, and mapped shared memory are not properly released.
