Summary

In the Linux kernel, the DRM subsystem has a leak of drm_pending_vblank_event in the error path for out_fence_ptr. The fix releases the event and sets crtc_state->event to NULL to avoid memory leak.

Risk Assessment

Memory leak may lead to resource exhaustion, potentially affecting the stability of the graphics system.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix to prevent memory leaks.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm: Fix drm_pending_vblank_event leak in error path for out_fence_ptr When an out_fence_ptr is provided but DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_EVENT is not set, a drm_pending_vblank_event will be allocated. If later, there is an allocation failure or another failure at setup_out_fence(), that event will not have base.fence set and it will not be released at complete_signaling(). Release the event and set crtc_state->event to NULL just like in the DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_EVENT case when there is a failure at drm_event_reserve_init(). That is, prepare_signaling() releases the event and there is nothing to be done at complete_signaling(). Use drm_event_cancel_free() as that will also undo drm_event_reserve_init() in case it has been called.
