CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability in the Linux kernel affects the exec_queue management in the xe_oa_stream_open_ioctl() function, where an improper handling of width checks leads to a memory leak of the exec_queue reference. This leak prevents the associated resources from being released, potentially resulting in resource exhaustion and degraded system performance. Linux system administrators and developers utilizing the affected kernel versions should prioritize applying the fix to mitigate the risk of prolonged resource retention.
Original NVD Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe/oa: Fix exec_queue leak on width check in stream open In xe_oa_stream_open_ioctl(), when param.exec_q->width > 1 the function returns -EOPNOTSUPP directly, skipping the existing err_exec_q cleanup path. The exec_queue reference obtained by xe_exec_queue_lookup() is leaked. The exec queue holds a reference on the xe_file, which is only dropped during queue teardown. The leaked lookup ref is not on the file's exec_queue xarray, so file close cannot release it. This keeps both the exec queue and the file private state pinned indefinitely. Jump to err_exec_q instead of returning directly so the reference is released. (cherry picked from commit 339fa0be9e4a5d69fa47e91f4a36574224fb478f)
