In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: nci: complete pending data exchange on device close
In nciclosedevice(), complete any pending data exchange before closing. The data exchange callback (e.g. rawsockdataexchange_complete) holds a socket reference.
NIPA occasionally hits this leak:
