| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/Au:S/C:N/I:N/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The Linux kernel contains a flaw in the DRM/Radeon driver where the
rdev structure, managed by devres, was incorrectly being freed using kfree(). This occurred because the allocation method for the driver's main structure was changed to devm drm dev alloc(), which means rdev should be managed by devres. Incorrectly freeing rdev could lead to system instability if the driver probe failed and devres attempted to clean up the structure after it had already been freed.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
