CVE-2022-49233 Details
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: Call dc_stream_release for remove link enc assignment [Why] A porting error resulted in the stream assignment for the link being retained without being released - a memory leak. [How] Fix the porting error by adding back the dc_stream_release() intended as part of the original patch.
A memory leak vulnerability has been addressed in the Linux kernel's AMD display driver. The issue arose from a porting error that caused the stream assignment for a link to be retained without proper release, leading to a memory leak. The vulnerability has been resolved by correcting the porting error and reintroducing the necessary 'dc_stream_release()' call, which was originally intended as part of a previous patch.
