NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-uek-debug-modules-extra-netfilter package and not the kernel-uek-debug-modules-extra-netfilter 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:

cpufreq: initialize policy rwsem before sysfs publication

cpufreq_policy_alloc() initializes policy->rwsem after kobject_init_and_add() has created the policy sysfs directory and its default attributes. A sysfs access can therefore reach a policy callback before the semaphore has been initialized.

Initialize policy->rwsem before publishing the policy kobject so sysfs callbacks always see an initialized semaphore.
