Doc Text:	A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Intel i915 graphics driver. When handling performance configuration queries, the driver fails to properly free previously allocated memory if a memory reallocation request fails. A local user could exploit this flaw during low-memory conditions to trigger a memory leak, potentially resulting in system resource exhaustion and a denial of service (DoS).	Story Points:	---

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-09-25 10:44:57 UTC

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/i915: Fix memory leak in query_perf_config_list()

When krealloc() fails, free the original oa_config_ids before returning
to avoid a memory leak.

(cherry picked from commit 9977e9d84f46d4f12ad35fbbc0ec4638554bce87)
