Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to a null pointer dereference in mana_remove() when handling a second invocation after a failed PM resume callback. A local user can trigger device unbind after a failed resume path to cause a denial of service.
The issue occurs because a failed resume callback does not automatically unbind the driver, allowing mana_remove() to be invoked again later.
