Linux Kernel Memory Leak Vulnerability in Host1x Component

Vulnerability

A memory leak vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's Host1x component. The issue arises in the 'host1x_remove()' function, which lacks a necessary call to 'host1x_channel_list_free()' for proper memory management. This omission has been addressed by adding the missing call, similar to the existing error handling in the probe function.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability leads to a memory leak, causing increased memory usage that is not released back to the system.
