Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-10-07 16:05:33 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: gadget: f_hid: fix refcount leak on error path

When failing to allocate report_desc, opts->refcnt has already been
incremented so it needs to be decremented to avoid leaving the options
structure permanently locked.
