"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nhwmon: (coretemp) Fix core_data leak on CPUs without PTS\n\npdata->core_data is allocated in init_temp_data() when the first core\ntemp_data of a package is created, but it is only released from\ndestroy_temp_data(), and only in the branch that handles the package\ntemp_data.\n\nPackage temp_data is created solely when the CPU supports\nX86_FEATURE_PTS. On a CPU without it, coretemp_cpu_online() never calls\ncoretemp_add_core() with pkg_flag set, so pdata->pkg_data stays NULL.\ncoretemp_cpu_offline() then skips the removal of the package interface,\ndestroy_temp_data() is never called for package data, and the array is\nstill allocated when coretemp_device_remove() frees the platform data\nthat pointed at it.\n\nRelease the array in coretemp_device_remove(). destroy_temp_data() sets\npdata->core_data to NULL when it frees it, so the added kfree() is a\nno-op on CPUs that do have PTS.\n\nTested on an Intel Core i5-1135G7. The driver was instrumented to log\nevery allocation and release of pdata->core_data, and the PTS check in\ncoretemp_cpu_online() was patched out to emulate a CPU without package\nthermal support. Without this change the array was allocated and never\nreleased, and coretemp_device_remove() still saw a non-NULL pointer.\nWith it the array is released and the pointer accounting balances. On an\nunmodified build the release still happens via the package temp_data and\nthe added kfree() sees NULL, with no slab warnings over repeated module\nload and unload cycles."
