Linux · Linux Kernel · CVE-2021-47659
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel has been resolved. The issue is related to the ` drm universal plane init()` function, where a check for `format count > 64` is performed. If this condition is met, it can lead to a leak of the `plane->format types` array and a failure to call `drm mode object unregister()`, resulting in a leak of the modeset identifier. The fix involves moving the range check to the start of the function to prevent resource allocation.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
