In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

platform/x86/intel/tpmi: use cleanup helpers in memwrite()

In memwrite(), the temporary array returned by parseintarrayuser() must be released on all exit paths. Convert the array variable to use cleanup.h scope-based cleanup so it is freed automatically on return.

This also moves the array declaration next to parseintarrayuser() as required by cleanup.h usage guidelines.
