When this happens backlight_device_get_by_name looks for a device in the backlight class which has name &#34;appletb_backlight&#34; and upon finding a match it increments the reference count for the device and returns it to the caller. However this reference is never released leading to a reference leak.</p> <p>Fix this by decrementing the backlight device reference count on removal via put_device and on probe failure.</p> <p><strong>Affected:</strong> Linux</p> <p>In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:</p> <p>HID: appletb-kbd: fix &#34;appletb_backlight&#34; backlight device reference counting</p> <p>During appletb_kbd_probe, probe attempts to get the backlight device by name.
