How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:12 linux-6.12 to version 6.12.111-1~deb12u1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream linux-6.12 package and not the linux-6.12 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

bus: mhi: host: Fix controller cleanup on EDL sysfs failure

mhi_register_controller() adds the controller device before creating the optional trigger_edl sysfs file. If sysfs_create_file() fails, the error path only drops the device reference and leaves the device registered.

Hence, call device_del() in the error path before put_device().
