pid leak

About this tag
The pid leak tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about kernel-level PID reference leaks, particularly in Linux drivers. A recent thread highlights CVE-2025-68233, a fix in the Tegra DRM driver that addresses a missing put_pid call in host1x_memory_context_alloc. This bug could cause kernel PID references to accumulate over time, potentially leading to resource exhaustion on affected systems. While the tag focuses on Linux kernel issues, it may also be relevant to Windows users interested in general resource management and security vulnerabilities. The content emphasizes the importance of proper PID lifecycle management in driver code.

    CVE-2025-68233: Tegra DRM PID Leak Fixed in Linux Kernel

    A small but important Linux kernel fix published in mid‑December 2025 addresses a resource‑leak in the Tegra DRM driver by adding a missing call to put_pid, closing a PID ownership gap in host1x_memory_context_alloc that could otherwise accumulate kernel PID references over time and lead to...
