Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Linux Kernel up to 6.0.6 and classified as critical. This issue affects an unknown part of the component DP Parser Interface. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a allocation of resources vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-770. The product allocates a reusable resource or group of resources on behalf of an actor without imposing any restrictions on the size or number of resources that can be allocated, in violation of the intended security policy for that actor. The impact remains unknown. The summary by CVE is:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/msm/dp: fix bridge lifetime Device-managed resources allocated post component bind must be tied to the lifetime of the aggregate DRM device or they will not necessarily be released when binding of the aggregate device is deferred. This can lead resource leaks or failure to bind the aggregate device when binding is later retried and a second attempt to allocate the resources is made. For the DP bridges, previously allocated bridges will leak on probe deferral. Fix this by amending the DP parser interface and tying the lifetime of the bridge device to the DRM device rather than DP platform device. Patchwork: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/502667/
