CVE-2022-48888

A vulnerability was found in the function msm_mdss_parse_data_bus_icc_path() in the Linux kernel's msm_mdss.c driver. This issue occurs when the of_icc_get() function is called to allocate resources for path1, but msm_mdss_parse_data_bus_icc_path() never releases that memory when it is no longer needed. This can lead to resource exhaustion if the function is called repeatedly over time.
