CVE-2024-40997 cpufreq: amd-pstate: fix memory leak on CPU EPP exit

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cpufreq: amd-pstate: fix memory leak on CPU EPP exit The cpudata memory from kzalloc in amdpstateeppcpuinit is not freed in the analogous exit function, so fix that. rjw: Subject and changelog edits...

CVE-2024-40997

CVE-2024-40997 involves a Linux kernel vulnerability where a memory leak in the amd-pstate cpufreq path was fixed. The issue was that kzalloc() allocated cpudata during amd_pstate_epp_cpu_init() but could not be freed in the corresponding exit path, leading to a leak on CPU EPP exit. The primary ...
