Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: efifb: Register sysfs groups through driver core
The driver core can register and cleanup sysfs groups already.
Make use of that functionality to simplify the error handling and
cleanup.
Also avoid a UAF race during unregistering where the sysctl attributes
were usable after the info struct was freed.
Affected configurations
• linux linux kernel (< 6.6.55)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.7 < 6.10.14)
• linux linux kernel (>= 6.11 < 6.11.3)
