Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq: davinci: Fix clk use after free
The remove function first frees the clks and only then calls
cpufreq_unregister_driver(). If one of the cpufreq callbacks is called
just before cpufreq_unregister_driver() is run, the freed clks might be
used.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (>= 2.6.33 < 4.14.308)
• linux linux kernel (>= 4.15 < 6.1.16)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.2.3)
