The Linux kernel’s DRM logicvc driver has a flaw where the function logicvc_drm_config_parse obtains a reference to a device node but never releases it, which can cause the node’s reference count to grow without bound. Based on the description, it is inferred that this leak could lead to resource exhaustion or kernel instability if it accumulates over time. The weakness is improper resource cleanup, corresponding to CWE‑772.

The vulnerability affects any Linux kernel that contains the unpatched logicvc DRM component. Because the driver is part of the core kernel, the flaw is independent of distribution and applies to all releases that still include the legacy logicvc implementation. No specific affected version range is listed, so all kernels prior to the inclusion of the fix are potentially impacted.

The CVSS score, EPSS score, and KEV status are not provided, indicating a lack of published severity metrics or known widespread exploitation. Based on the description, it is inferred that an attacker would need to load or reconfigure the logicvc driver to invoke logicvc_drm_config_parse and trigger the reference leak repeatedly. The risk stems from possible uncontrolled resource consumption, but the practical exploitability remains uncertain without further evidence.
