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

    coresight: Fix memory leak in acpi_buffer->pointer

    There are memory leaks reported by kmemleak:

    ...

    The ACPI buffer memory (buf.pointer) should be freed. But the buffer
    is also used after returning from acpi_get_dsd_graph().
    Move the temporary variables buf to acpi_coresight_parse_graph(),
    and free it before the function return to prevent memory leak.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
