CVE-2023-53012

  1. OpenCVE
  2. Vulnerabilities (CVE)
  3. CVE-2023-53012
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: thermal: core: call put_device() only after device_register() fails put_device() shouldn't be called before a prior call to device_register(). __thermal_cooling_device_register() doesn't follow that properly and needs fixing. Also thermal_cooling_device_destroy_sysfs() is getting called unnecessarily on few error paths. Fix all this by placing the calls at the right place. Based on initial work done by Caleb Connolly.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: thermal: core: llamar a put_device() solo después de que device_register() falle. No se debe llamar a put_device() antes de una llamada previa a device_register(). __thermal_cooling_device_register() no sigue esto correctamente y necesita solución. Además, se llama a thermal_cooling_device_destroy_sysfs() innecesariamente en algunas rutas de error. Para solucionar esto, coloque las llamadas en el lugar correcto. Basado en el trabajo inicial de Caleb Connolly.
