Linux Kernel Resource Leak Vulnerability in MediaTek VCodec

Vulnerability

A resource leak vulnerability has been addressed in the Linux kernel's MediaTek vcodec component. This issue arises on MediaTek devices with a system companion processor (SCP), where the mtk_scp structure must be explicitly removed to prevent the leak. The vulnerability occurs during the firmware initialization process, requiring the structure to be freed if the firmware allocation fails.

Impact

The vulnerability could lead to a resource leak, potentially causing memory to be improperly managed or released.
