Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thermal: of: fix double-free on unregistration
Since commit 3d439b1a2ad3 ("thermal/core: Alloc-copy-free the thermal
zone parameters structure"), thermal_zone_device_register() allocates
a copy of the tzp argument and frees it when unregistering, so
thermal_of_zone_register() now ends up leaking its original tzp and
double-freeing the tzp copy. Fix this by locating tzp on stack instead.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's thermal subsystem. A double-free vulnerability occurs during thermal zone device unregistration when using device tree (OF) bindings. The thermal_of_zone_register() function leaks the original tzp structure and double-frees the internal copy, which can lead to memory corruption or a kernel crash.
Отчет
This vulnerability occurs during thermal zone unregistration, which typically happens during driver removal or system shutdown. The double-free requires triggering the unregistration path, and exploitation for anything beyond denial of service is highly unlikely. Systems not using device tree thermal zones are unaffected.
