AI-suggested

A fix has been implemented to properly release partially allocated GPU memory pools in the affected function. Users should apply the official kernel updates that include this patch for the affected linux-hwe-edge versions. Since this is a kernel-level fix, upgrading to a patched kernel version is the recommended remediation.

Description

A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's AMD ISP4 media driver was resolved. The function isp4if_alloc_fw_gpumem() allocates multiple GPU memory pools sequentially but fails to release already allocated pools if a subsequent allocation fails, causing a memory leak. The fix ensures that partial allocations are properly released before returning an error. This issue affects specific versions of the linux-hwe-edge kernel.
