Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: thermal/drivers/hisi: Drop second sensor hi3660 The commit 74c8e6bffbe1 ("driver core: Add __alloc_size hint to devm allocators") exposes a panic "BRK handler: Fatal exception" on the hi3660_thermal_probe funciton. This is because the function allocates memory for only one sensors array entry, but tries to fill up a second one. Fix this by removing the unneeded second access.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 4.20.1 < 5.4.235) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.5 < 5.10.173) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.99) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.16) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.2.3) • linux linux kernel 4.20
