| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's coresight platform component. The functions responsible for adding input and output connections increment internal counters before successfully allocating memory. If a memory allocation fails, these counters become inconsistent with the actual state of allocated resources. This inconsistency can lead to the system attempting to access uninitialized or invalid memory during error cleanup, causing a system panic and resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
