CVE-2024-56624

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iommufd: Fix out_fput in iommufd_fault_alloc()

As fput() calls the file->f_op->release op, where fault obj and ictx are
getting released, there is no need to release these two after fput() one
more time, which would result in imbalanced refcounts:
  refcount_t: decrement hit 0; leaking memory.

CWE-401 Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime

The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, which slowly consumes remaining memory.
