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:
...
unreferenced object 0xffff00213c141000 (size 1024):
  comm "systemd-udevd", pid 2123, jiffies 4294909467 (age 6062.160s)

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.

CWE-401 Missing Release of Memory after Effective Lifetime

The product does not sufficiently track and release allocated memory after it has been used, which slowly consumes remaining memory.
