This issue was patched in ELSA-2024-9315.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-doc package and not the kernel-doc package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

thermal/debugfs: Free all thermal zone debug memory on zone removal

Because thermal_debug_tz_remove() does not free all memory allocated for thermal zone diagnostics, some of that memory becomes unreachable after freeing the thermal zone's struct thermal_debugfs object.

Address this by making thermal_debug_tz_remove() free all of the memory in question.
