Summary

CVE-2024-50213: A memory leak issue has been identified in the Linux kernel's drm/tests: hdmi module. The vulnerability arises when loading the drm_hdmi_state_helper_test module and then unloading it, which causes an allocated mode object in drm_mode_duplicate() to not be freed, leading to the memory leak. The unreferenced memory, located at 0xffffff80ccd18100, contains data from the affected process and its backtrace. To resolve this issue, developers should utilize drm_kunit_display_mode_from_cea_vic() to correctly free the `mode` object.
