  "details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:  x86/amd_node: Fix PCI device reference counting in amd_smn_init()  The local \"root\" pointer is a temporary variable used during the device search. Therefore, refcount related to the search iterators should be cleaned up after the search is complete.  Use the __free() cleanup macro to ensure the refcount is decremented when the temporary pointer goes out of scope.  Additionally, increment the refcount when caching a root pointer. This ensures the in-use refcount is separate from the temporary search refcounting.  Finally, drop the redundant \"root = NULL\" before the second search loop. The pci_get_class() iterator always decrements the refcount of its \"from\" argument, so the first loop can only fall through with \"root\" already NULL.",
