## Overview

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

drm/nouveau: Fix bridge reference leak in nv1a_ram_new()

pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot() takes a reference to the PCI device,
which is never released once the memory size has been read from its
config space.  Drop the reference before returning.
