In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
misc: fastrpc: Fix dma_buf object leak in fastrpc_map_lookup
In fastrpc_map_lookup, dma_buf_get is called to obtain a reference to
the dma_buf for comparison purposes. However, this reference is never
released when the function returns, leading to a dma_buf memory leak.
Fix this by adding dma_buf_put before returning from the function,
ensuring that the temporarily acquired reference is properly released
regardless of whether a matching map is found.
