Linux Kernel Memory Leak Vulnerability in AMD GPU Metrics Table

Vulnerability

A memory leak vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's handling of AMD GPU metrics. The issue arises because memory allocated for the gpu_metrics_table in the renoir_init_smc_tables() function is not properly freed in the smu_v12_0_fini_smc_tables() function, leading to a potential memory leak.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a memory leak, causing increased memory usage and potentially degrading system performance over time.
