Summary

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: accel: kxsd9: fix runtime PM imbalance on write_raw() error kxsd9_write_raw() takes a runtime PM reference with pm_runtime_get_sync() but returns -EINVAL directly when a scale with a non-zero integer part is requested, skipping the matching pm_runtime_put_autosuspend().

This leaks a runtime PM usage-counter reference on every such write, after which the device can no longer autosuspend. Set the error code and fall through to the existing put instead of returning early.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's iio subsystem, specifically in the kxsd9 accelerometer driver. This action causes a runtime Power Management (PM) usage-counter reference to leak, preventing the device from entering autosuspend mode.

The consequence is increased power consumption and a denial of service for the device's power management capabilities. Red Hat severity: not rated.

Weakness: CWE-772. Red Hat lists Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 as not affected.
