Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
powercap: intel_rapl: Fix memory leak in rapl_add_package_cpuslocked()<br />
<br />
When topology_physical_package_id()/topology_logical_die_id() returns<br />
a negative value, rapl_add_package_cpuslocked() returns ERR_PTR(-EINVAL)<br />
directly without freeing the rapl_package structure that was just<br />
allocated by kzalloc_obj(), leaking memory on every failed package<br />
addition.<br />
<br />
Use the existing err_free_package label so that the allocation is<br />
released on the error path.
