Vulnerability CVE-2024-36956


Published: 2024-05-30

Description:
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.
