LIN1022-9160 : Security Advisory - linux - CVE-2024-36940

Created: May 30, 2024    Updated: Jun 15, 2024
Resolved Date: May 31, 2024
Found In Version: 10.22.33.1
Fix Version: 10.22.33.17
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux LTS 22
Component/s: Kernel

Description

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

pinctrl: core: delete incorrect free in pinctrl_enable()

The "pctldev" struct is allocated in devm_pinctrl_register_and_init().
It's a devm_ managed pointer that is freed by devm_pinctrl_dev_release(),
so freeing it in pinctrl_enable() will lead to a double free.

The devm_pinctrl_dev_release() function frees the pindescs and destroys
the mutex as well.
