Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description A refcount leak issue has been identified in the Linux kernel, specifically in the ASoC mxs sgtl5000 probe function. This issue occurs when the function fails to properly release reference counts in error paths, such as when codec np is NULL but saif np[0] and saif np[1] are not NULL. The of node put() function is used to release the refcount of regular pointers.
