Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a memory leak in the Linux kernel's cpufreq driver for Qualcomm hardware. Specifically, if the function qcom_cpufreq_hw_read_lut() fails to get the operating performance points (opp) table from the cpu_dev device, it returns without releasing the allocated 'table' resource, causing a memory leak.

Impact Analysis

The memory leak caused by this vulnerability can lead to increased memory usage over time, potentially degrading system performance or causing resource exhaustion on affected Linux systems using Qualcomm cpufreq drivers.
