CVE-2019-19082 (published 2019-11-18T06:15Z)

Memory leaks in *create_resource_pool() functions under drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc in the Linux kernel through 5.3.11 allow attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption). This affects the dce120_create_resource_pool() function in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/dce120/dce120_resource.c, the dce110_create_resource_pool() function in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/dce110/dce110_resource.c, the dce100_create_resource_pool() function in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/dce100/dce100_resource.c, the dcn10_create_resource_pool() function in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/dcn10/dcn10_resource.c, and the dce112_create_resource_pool() function in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/dce112/dce112_resource.c, aka CID-104c307147ad.

Severity: MEDIUM
CVSS v2 base score: 4.7 (AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C)
CVSS v3 base score: 4.7, MEDIUM (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

Weakness information:
cwe_id: CWE-401
cwe_name: Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime
description: The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, which slowly consumes remaining memory.
extended_description: This is often triggered by improper handling of malformed data or unexpectedly interrupted sessions.  In some languages, developers are responsible for tracking memory allocation and releasing the memory.  If there are no more pointers or references to the memory, then it can no longer be tracked and identified for release.

msg: drm/amd/display: prevent memory leak

In dcn*_create_resource_pool the allocated memory should be released if
construct pool fails.
