    CVE-2025-68204: ARM SCMI GenPD Provider Leak Triggers Kernel Panic

    A recently assigned CVE, CVE-2025-68204, discloses a resource-handling bug in the Linux kernel’s ARM SCMI power-domain code that can leave generic power domains (genpds) allocated when provider registration fails — a leak that has been shown to eventually trigger a kernel panic during genpd...
