If a subsequent error triggers a goto out_fail after\nthe tgtdev reference is acquired, the reference is never released\nbecause the out_fail path does not call mpi3mr_tgtdev_put(). This\nprevents the target device structure from ever being freed.\n\nAdd a tgtdev put in the out_fail path, guarded by a NULL check since\ntgtdev is only acquired for SAS_END_DEVICE types and the same cleanup\npath is shared by earlier error cases where tgtdev is still NULL.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":3,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":2.8,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
