| Subject: CVE-2022-49665: platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: Fix a memory leak of EFCH MMIO resource |
| |
| Description |
| =========== |
| |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: |
| |
| platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: Fix a memory leak of EFCH MMIO resource |
| |
| Unlike release_mem_region(), a call to release_resource() does not |
| free the resource, so it has to be freed explicitly to avoid a memory |
| leak. |
| |
| The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-49665 to this issue. |
| |
| |
| Affected and fixed versions |

| 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: |
| https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3884bf75fa044c73e843d95dd71a424e80ebb095 |
