CVE-2022-49010: hwmon: (coretemp) Check for null before removing sysfs attrs
First published: Mon Oct 21 2024(Updated: )
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hwmon: (coretemp) Check for null before removing sysfs attrs If coretemp_add_core() gets an error then pdata->core_data[indx] is already NULL and has been kfreed. Don't pass that to sysfs_remove_group() as that will crash in sysfs_remove_group().
