Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Advanced Linux Sound Architecture System on Chip (ASoC) Mediatek MT8183 audio driver. The Audio Front End (AFE) probe assigns reserved memory but does not release it when the driver is removed or if probe failures occur. This oversight can lead to a memory leak, potentially causing resource exhaustion and a Denial of Service (DoS) for the system.
