(In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: t ...)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: thermal: hwmon: Remove hwmon class device along with its parent The current code creates one hwmon device per thermal zone type and that device is registered under the first thermal zone of the given type. That turns out to be problematic when the thermal zone holding the hwmon device is removed. For example, say that there are two ACPI thermal zones on a system /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/ /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone1/ The current code registers a hwmon class device for thermal_zone0 only: /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/hwmon0/ because the type is "acpitz" for both of them, but it adds a sysfs attribute that belongs to thermal_zone1 under it: /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/hwmon0/temp2_input There is also /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/hwmon0/temp1_input which belongs to thermal_zone0. When thermal_zone0 is removed, say because the ACPI
