Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/connector: hdmi: Fix memory leak in drm_display_mode_from_cea_vic()

modprobe drm_connector_test and then rmmod drm_connector_test, the following memory leak occurs.

The `mode` allocated in drm_mode_duplicate() called by drm_display_mode_from_cea_vic() is not freed, which cause the memory leak:
