The problem was introduced\nby \"8aa5e56eeb61\" commit, this commit is to fix memory leak in\nacpi_ut_copy_iobject_to_iobject(), repeatedly adding remove\noperation, lead to \"acpi_operand_object\" used after free.\nFix it by removing acpi_ut_remove_reference() in\nacpi_ut_copy_ipackage_to_ipackage(). acpi_ut_copy_ipackage_to_ipackage()\nis called to copy an internal package object into another internal\npackage object, when it fails, the memory of acpi_operand_object\nshould be freed by the caller.", "A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. This use-after-free vulnerability exists within the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) subsystem. A local attacker with low privileges could exploit this flaw, leading to memory corruption. This could result in information disclosure or a denial of service (DoS) on the system." ],
