Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's media: iris: gen1 driver. This vulnerability occurs because the driver fails to destroy internal buffers after the firmware releases them. This oversight leads to stale memory allocations, particularly when display resolutions change and new buffers are required. Over time, this can result in significant memory waste, potentially leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) due to resource exhaustion.

Mitigation

No mitigation is specified in collected source.
