A memory leak flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s DMA subsystem, in the way a user calls DMA_FROM_DEVICE. This flaw allows a local user to read random memory from the kernel space.
The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, which slowly consumes remaining memory.
