CVE-2024-56676

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: thermal: testing: Initialize some variables annoteded with _free() Variables annotated with __free() need to be initialized if the function can return before they get updated for the first time or the attempt to free the memory pointed to by them upon function return may crash the kernel. Fix this issue in some places in the thermal testing code.

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: thermal: testing: Initialize some variables annotated with _free() Las variables anotadas con __free() deben inicializarse si la función puede regresar antes de que se actualicen por primera vez o el intento de liberar la memoria a la que apuntan al regresar la función puede hacer que el kernel se bloquee. Corrija este problema en algunos lugares del código de pruebas térmicas.
