Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
A vulnerability has been resolved in the Linux kernel, specifically in the drm/xe component, where an opregion leak was fixed. The issue was related to the setup and cleanup of the display, which ideally should be done by the display itself. However, this requires a bigger refactor to be done on both i915 and xe. For now, the leak has been fixed. The vulnerability was related to an unreferenced object, and a backtrace is provided, showing the functions involved, including
kmemleak alloc, kmalloc trace noprof, intel opregion setup, and others.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
