NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-syms package and not the kernel-syms package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.5 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_cs: fix refcount leak of a dma_fence obj

This issue takes place in an error path in amdgpu_cs_fence_to_handle_ioctl(). When info-&gt;in.what falls into default case, the function simply returns -EINVAL, forgetting to decrement the reference count of a dma_fence obj, which is bumped earlier by amdgpu_cs_get_fence(). This may result in reference count leaks.

Fix it by decreasing the refcount of specific object before returning the error code.
