drm/tegra: Add call to putpid()
Affected Software
Remediation
Recommended actions to resolve this vulnerability, in priority order.
- Compensating control
In drm/tegra, add a call to put_pid() corresponding to get_task_pid() after host1x_memory_context_alloc(), because host1x_memory_context_alloc() does not take ownership of the PID and it must be freed to prevent a leak.
