Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/nouveau: Fix gem reference leak in validate_init()
On the ttm_bo_reserve() failure and "vma not found" error paths, the
loop breaks without adding the looked-up object to any validate list,
so the reference taken by drm_gem_object_lookup() is never released;
validate_fini() only walks the spliced lists. Drop the reference
before breaking out on both paths.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Nouveau graphics driver, which can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS). A local user can trigger this flaw during graphics buffer validation operations that encounter specific error paths. Because the driver fails to properly release object references when these errors occur, the unreleased objects cause a reference leak. Repeated exploitation can exhaust system memory resources and compromise system availability.
Отчет
This vulnerability is rated as having Low severity for Red Hat products because exploitation is confined to local authenticated users on systems equipped with NVIDIA hardware actively using the open source Nouveau driver. In typical enterprise server deployments without graphical workstations or where alternative graphics stacks are utilized, the affected module is not loaded. Successful abuse requires repeated failed operations to trigger an incremental memory leak, resulting only in potential resource exhaustion without impacting data confidentiality or integrity.
