Linux Kernel Refcount Leak Vulnerability in QCOM AOSS Component

A refcount leak vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's QCOM AOSS component. The issue arises because the 'for_each_available_child_of_node()' function does not properly manage reference counts when breaking out of the loop early. This oversight can lead to a memory leak by failing to release the reference of the last child node processed.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to a memory leak, causing increased memory usage and potential degradation of system performance over time.
