Linux Kernel Memory Leak Vulnerability in AMD GPU Metrics Handling

Vulnerability

A memory leak vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's AMD graphics driver. The issue arises in the 'gpu_metrics_table', which is allocated memory during the initialization of SMC tables but not properly freed during the cleanup process. This oversight can lead to memory leaks.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability can cause memory leaks, potentially leading to increased memory usage and degradation of system performance over time.
