Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's media: mtk-mdp module. A reference leak occurs because the vpu_get_plat_device() function increases a reference count that is not properly decreased by platform_device_put() in mtk_mdp_remove(). This issue could potentially lead to resource exhaustion over time, which may result in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the system.

Mitigation

No mitigation is specified in collected source.
