What to do
AI-suggested
A fix has been applied in the Linux kernel source code to use scope-based cleanup helpers for the temporary array in mem_write(). Users should update to the fixed kernel version once available. Patch status is not explicitly confirmed in the provided data; check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's platform/x86/intel/tpmi component was resolved by ensuring proper cleanup of a temporary array in the mem_write() function. The fix involved using scope-based cleanup helpers to automatically free the array returned by parse_int_array_user() on all exit paths, preventing potential resource leaks.
