Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: iris: fix module removal if firmware download failed
Fix remove if firmware failed to load:
qcom-iris aa00000.video-codec: Direct firmware load for qcom/vpu/vpu33_p4.mbn failed with error -2
qcom-iris aa00000.video-codec: firmware download failed
qcom-iris aa00000.video-codec: core init failed
then:
$ echo aa00000.video-codec > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/qcom-iris/unbind
Triggers:
genpd genpd:1:aa00000.video-codec: Runtime PM usage count underflow!
