"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\ndmaengine: Fix double increment of client_count in dma_chan_get()\n\nThe first time dma_chan_get() is called for a channel the channel\nclient_count is incorrectly incremented twice for public channels,\nfirst in balance_ref_count(), and again prior to returning.
