Linux Kernel Tegra DRM Reference Leak Vulnerability

A reference leak vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's Tegra DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) subsystem. The issue arises in the 'tegra_dsi_ganged_probe' function, where a reference obtained from 'of_find_device_by_node()' is not properly released when no longer needed. This oversight can lead to resource leaks, potentially causing memory management issues.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a reference leak, causing memory management problems that might be exploited for more severe consequences, such as arbitrary code execution or denial-of-service, according to the CVE.
