Summary

In the ti-ads1119 ADC driver in the Linux kernel, a runtime PM usage-counter reference leak was found in the buffer preenable function. When i2c_smbus_write_byte() fails, the error is returned without releasing the PM reference, leaving the device active.

Risk Assessment

The PM reference leak prevents the device from autosuspending, increasing power consumption and potentially reducing battery life.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that stores the I2C transfer result and releases the PM reference before returning the error.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: adc: ti-ads1119: fix PM reference leak in buffer preenable ads1119_triggered_buffer_preenable() resumes the device with pm_runtime_resume_and_get() before starting a conversion. If i2c_smbus_write_byte() fails, the function returns the error directly and leaves the runtime PM usage counter elevated. The matching postdisable callback is not called when preenable fails, so the reference is leaked and the device may remain runtime-active indefinitely. Store the I2C transfer result in ret and drop the runtime PM reference on failure before returning the error.
