Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description In the iris driver for gen1, internal buffers were not destroyed after being released by the firmware. This led to stale allocations that remained unused, particularly during resolution changes when new buffers were allocated to meet updated requirements, resulting in wasted memory until the session closed.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
