Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's KXCJK-1013 accelerometer driver. A local user could exploit this flaw by submitting duplicate event disable requests to the device configuration interface. Because the driver does not filter repeated disable requests, it improperly releases a runtime power management (PM) reference that was not acquired. This can cause the reference counter to underflow, potentially leading to inconsistent power management states or system instability.
