Description
===========

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

drm/amd/display: fix memory leak when using debugfs_lookup()

otherwise the memory will leak over time.  Fix this up by properly
calling dput().

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-48698 to this issue.


Affected and fixed versions
===========================

	Fixed in 5.15.68 with commit 58acd2ebae03

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
