Description
A memory leak was found in the Linux kernel's ACPI x86 suspend-to-idle implementation in the AMD Low Power S0 (LPS0) DSM evaluation code. A system with malformed ACPI firmware that returns multiple ACPI_TYPE_PACKAGE objects during _DSM evaluation can trigger repeated memory allocations that are never freed. This leads to gradual memory exhaustion and potential denial of service.
Statement
The AMD LPS0 DSM handler expects a single package object but doesn't guard against firmware returning multiples. Each extra package leaks memory.
