    "summary": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommufd: Fix out_fput in iommufd_fault_alloc() As fput() calls the file->f_op->release op, where fault obj and ictx are getting released, there is no need to release these two after fput() one more time, which would result in imbalanced refcounts: refcount_t: decrement hit 0; leaking memory.
