Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's au1200fb framebuffer driver. When the platform_get_irq function fails during the au1200fb_drv_probe process, the driver incorrectly returns an error without releasing allocated memory. This memory leak could be exploited by a local attacker, potentially leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) due to resource exhaustion.
