A refcount leak vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's Amlogic SOC handling, specifically within the secure power controller management. This issue arises in the 'meson_secure_pwrc_probe()' function, where a reference count is improperly managed, leading to a potential resource leak.
The vulnerability causes a refcount leak, which can lead to memory management issues such as use-after-free vulnerabilities or memory leaks.
Our algorithm analyzes dozens of metrics to generate these 8 key vulnerability categories, which are then combined to calculate the overall risk score.
