CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedA memory leak vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel's radeonfb_pci_register() function, where allocated memory for the modelist is not properly freed during error handling. This could lead to increased memory consumption and potential system instability over time. Organizations using affected Linux distributions should prioritize patching this issue to maintain system performance and reliability.
Original NVD Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fbdev: radeon: fix potential memory leak in radeonfb_pci_register() The function radeonfb_pci_register() allocates memory for modelist (by calling radeon_check_modes() which calls fb_add_videomode()). The memory is appended to info->modelist, but is not freed in subsequent error paths. Fix this by calling fb_destroy_modelist().
