Doc Text:
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.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-10-22 14:06:59 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ACPI: x86: s2idle: Catch multiple ACPI_TYPE_PACKAGE objects

If a badly constructed firmware includes multiple `ACPI_TYPE_PACKAGE`
objects while evaluating the AMD LPS0 _DSM, there will be a memory
leak.  Explicitly guard against this.
