In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio:
mma8452: Fix trigger reference couting The mma8452 driver directly assigns
a trigger to the struct iio_dev. The IIO core when done using this trigger
will call iio_trigger_put() to drop the reference count by 1. Without the
matching iio_trigger_get() in the driver the reference count can reach 0
too early, the trigger gets freed while still in use and a use-after-free
occurs. Fix this by getting a reference to the trigger before assigning it
to the IIO device.
