Linux Kernel Memory Leak Vulnerability in ThinkPad ACPI

Vulnerability

A memory leak vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel's ThinkPad ACPI component. The issue arises because a call to release_resource() does not free the associated memory resource, leading to a leak. This vulnerability has been addressed by ensuring that the resource is explicitly freed to prevent memory leakage.

Impact

Exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to unnecessary memory consumption, potentially causing performance degradation or exhaustion of available memory resources.
