Отчет
This patch fixes a memory leak in the kprobe/kretprobe event generation test module: temporary buffers (buf) were only freed on error paths, so successful paths leaked memory. The issue is only reachable when the optional test module is loaded and invoked (typically by root during testing), so impact is limited to gradual kernel memory consumption rather than corruption or privilege change. Exploitation requires local privileged access and deliberate module use.
