Last modified
CVE-2022-50464 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mt76: mt7915: Fix PCI device refcount leak in mt7915_pci_init_hif2() As comment of pci_get_device() says, it returns a pci_device with its refcount increased. We need to call pci_dev_put() to decrease the refcount. EPSS estimates a 0.14% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
