CVE-2022-49665

Status: AnalyzedMedium (5.5)—

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.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
