AI-suggested
A patch is available and should be applied to affected Linux kernel versions. The issue is fixed in official Linux kernel security updates distributed by vendors such as Ubuntu. Users should update their systems to the patched kernel versions as soon as possible to remediate this vulnerability.
Description
A memory leak vulnerability in the Linux kernel's amdgpu driver was fixed. The issue occurred in the amdgpu_acpi_enumerate_xcc() function when amdgpu_acpi_dev_init() returned -ENOMEM, causing allocated memory to not be freed properly. This flaw has been addressed by ensuring proper memory release on error paths. The vulnerability affects multiple specific Linux kernel versions and has a medium severity rating with a CVSS score of 5.5. Official patches are available as part of Linux kernel security updates.
