Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-05-01 14:01:19 UTC 
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

media: mediatek: vcodec: Fix a resource leak related to the scp device in FW initialization

On Mediatek devices with a system companion processor (SCP) the mtk_scp
structure has to be removed explicitly to avoid a resource leak.
Free the structure in case the allocation of the firmware structure fails
during the firmware initialization.
