AI-suggested
A patch is available and included in updated Linux kernel packages. Users should apply the latest kernel updates and reboot their systems to ensure the fix is applied. Due to ABI changes, recompilation and reinstallation of third-party kernel modules may be necessary. Follow vendor instructions for updating and rebuilding kernel modules.
Description
A memory leak vulnerability in the Linux kernel's drm/v3d GPU driver was resolved. The issue occurs when a CL/CSD job times out and the GPU has made progress, causing the job to be removed from the pending list but not freed, leading to a memory leak. This was fixed by ensuring the job is re-added to the pending list when the timeout is extended. The vulnerability has a medium severity with a CVSS score of 5.5 and affects specific Linux kernel versions. A patch is available and included in recent Linux kernel updates.
