**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
The issue is related to a memory leak in the `int3400 notify()` function of the Linux kernel's `int340x` thermal component. This memory leak can be easily triggered on the TigerLake platform, leading to potential denial-of-service issues. The memory leak is caused by the lack of a call to `kfree()` to release allocated memory. The backtrace of the issue involves several kernel functions, including ` kmalloc track caller()`, `kvasprintf()`, `kasprintf()`, and `int3400 notify()`. There is no information provided about the estimated number of potentially affected devices or real-world incidents where this issue was exploited.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
