Fixed In Version: kernel 6.4-rc3
Doc Type: If docs needed, set a value
Doc Text:
A memory leak issue was found in the Linux kernel media subsystem in the TTUSB DEC driver. It could occur in the ttusb_dec_exit_dvb() function because of the lack of a dvb_frontend_detach call. A local user could trigger this flaw by repeatedly plugging and unplugging the device, potentially causing a denial of service condition.
