    Kernel CoreSight ACPI Memory Leak Fixed CVE-2023-53261

    A small, targeted kernel fix patched a creeping memory leak inside the CoreSight ACPI parsing path — a defect that doesn’t expose secrets but can steadily erode system availability by leaking ACPI buffer memory allocated through acpi_buffer->pointer until a service or host runs out of memory...
