Linux Kernel Memory Leak Vulnerability in AMD GPU Metrics Table

A memory leak vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's AMD graphics driver. The issue arises in the 'renoir_init_smc_tables' function, where memory is allocated for the 'gpu_metrics_table' but not properly freed in the 'smu_v12_0_fini_smc_tables' function. This oversight can lead to a potential memory leak.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability could result in a memory leak, causing increased memory usage and potentially leading to a denial-of-service condition.

Remediation

The vulnerability has been addressed in the official Linux kernel repository. Users should upgrade to the latest version to mitigate this issue.
