CVE-2024-36956
MEDIUMLinux Kernel 6.8-6.8.9 - Memory Leak in Thermal Zone Debug Memory Handling
Title source: llmDescription
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: thermal/debugfs: Free all thermal zone debug memory on zone removal Because thermal_debug_tz_remove() does not free all memory allocated for thermal zone diagnostics, some of that memory becomes unreachable after freeing the thermal zone's struct thermal_debugfs object. Address this by making thermal_debug_tz_remove() free all of the memory in question. Cc :6.8+ <[email protected]> # 6.8+
