Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2021-47534

medium Nessus Plugin ID 246177

Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

 - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/vc4: kms: Add missing drm_crtc_commit_put Commit 9ec03d7f1ed3 (drm/vc4: kms: Wait on previous FIFO users before a commit) introduced a global state for the HVS, with each FIFO storing the current CRTC commit so that we can properly synchronize commits. However, the refcounting was off and we thus ended up leaking the drm_crtc_commit structure every commit. Add a drm_crtc_commit_put to prevent the leakage. (CVE-2021-47534)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
