What to do

AI-suggested

A fix has been applied to the Linux kernel source code to add the missing platform_device_put() call in mtk_mdp_remove(), resolving the reference leak. Users should update to the fixed kernel version once available. No additional mitigation steps are indicated.

Description

A reference leak vulnerability in the Linux kernel's media subsystem (mtk-mdp) has been fixed. The issue involved the mtk_mdp_remove() function not properly releasing a platform device reference acquired in mtk_mdp_probe(), leading to a reference count leak.
