Summary

In the Linux kernel's mvebu GPIO driver, there is a memory leak during unbind because generic chips are not freed by mvebu_gpio_remove_irq_domain().

Risk Assessment

Repeated unbind/bind operations can lead to kernel memory exhaustion.

Recommendation

Apply a Linux kernel update containing the fix that explicitly calls irq_domain_remove_generic_chips() before removing the domain.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gpio: mvebu: free generic chips on unbind irq_alloc_domain_generic_chips() allocates generic chip data that must be freed via irq_domain_remove_generic_chips(). The devres action mvebu_gpio_remove_irq_domain() only called irq_domain_remove(), which only frees the generic chips if IRQ_DOMAIN_FLAG_DESTROY_GC is set. Call irq_domain_remove_generic_chips() explicitly before irq_domain_remove() instead.
