CVE-2022-50658

A memory leak vulnerability was found in the Qualcomm cpufreq driver in the Linux kernel. When the speedbin length is incorrect, the error handling path fails to free the allocated speedbin buffer, leading to a memory leak. Over time, this can cause resource exhaustion and system instability.

This is a memory leak issue in the Qualcomm cpufreq driver that occurs only in error paths when the speedbin length is invalid. The impact is limited as it requires specific hardware conditions to trigger and affects only Qualcomm-based systems.
