CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects the Linux kernel's framebuffer device driver, specifically the uvesafb module, where a memory leak can occur due to an incorrect goto label in the error handling of the uvesafb_vbe_init() function. This could lead to increased memory consumption, potentially impacting system performance and stability. Linux system administrators and developers working with the framebuffer subsystem should prioritize applying the fix to prevent resource exhaustion issues.
Original NVD Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fbdev: uvesafb: fix potential memory leak in uvesafb_probe() Due to an incorrect goto label, memory allocated for modedb and modelist in uvesafb_vbe_init() is not freed in some error paths. Fix this by updating the goto label.
