Summary

In the Linux kernel, the platform/x86 int1092 driver did not free the memory allocated for device_mode_info in parse_package() on some error paths in sar_probe(). This caused a memory leak.

Risk Assessment

Repeated memory leaks can gradually exhaust kernel resources and degrade system performance.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version containing the fix that converts the allocations to device managed allocations.
