A memory leak issue was found in the Linux kernel media subsystem in the TTUSB DEC driver. It could occur in the ttusb_dec_exit_dvb() function because of the lack of a dvb_frontend_detach call. A local user could trigger this flaw by repeatedly plugging and unplugging the device, potentially causing a denial of service condition.
To mitigate this issue, it is possible to prevent the affected code from being loaded by blacklisting the ttusb_dec
kernel module. For instructions on how to blacklist a kernel module, please see <https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278>.
