CVE-2023-53997

Опубликовано: 24 дек. 2025

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.
