CVE-2023-53605 [MEDIUM] CWE-771 kernel: drm: amd: display: Fix memory leakage
kernel: drm: amd: display: Fix memory leakage
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm: amd: display: Fix memory leakage
This commit fixes memory leakage in dc_construct_ctx() function.
A memory leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel's AMD display driver in the display context construction logic. A local user can trigger this issue during AMD GPU initialization when the dc_construct_ctx function fails to release allocated memory in error paths. This results in permanent memory leaks leading to resource exhaustion and denial of service.
Statement: The dc_construct_ctx function is responsible for initializing the display controller context during AMD GPU driver initialization. When errors occur during this process, certain code paths fail to free previously
