Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

在 Linux 内核中，已修复以下漏洞： thermal: hwmon: 删除与其父设备关联的 hwmon 类设备 当前代码为每种热区（thermal zone）类型创建一个 hwmon 设备，并且该设备注册在对应类型下的第一个热区之下。 当持有 hwmon 设备的热区被移除时，这种做法会引发问题。 例如，假设系统上有两个 ACPI 热区： 当前代码仅为 thermal_zone0 注册了一个 hwmon 类设备： 因为两个热区的类型均为 "acpitz"，但它在 hwmon0 下添加了一个属于 thermal_z

Vulnerability Title
thermal: hwmon: Remove hwmon class device along with its parent
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: thermal: hwmon: Remove hwmon class device along with its parent The current code creates one hwmon device per thermal zone type and that device is registered under the first thermal zone of the given type. That turns out to be problematic when the thermal zone holding the hwmon device is removed. For example, say that there are two ACPI thermal zones on a system /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/ /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone1/ The current code registers a hwmon class device for thermal_zone0 only: /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/hwmon0/ because the type is "acpitz" for both of them, but it adds a sysfs attribute that belongs to thermal_zone1 under it: /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/hwmon0/temp2_input There is also /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/hwmon0/temp1_input which belongs to thermal_zone0. When thermal_zone0 is removed, say because the ACPI thermal driver is unbound from the underlying platform device, thermal_remove_hwmon_sysfs() skips the removal of hwmon0 because of the temp2_input attribute belonging to thermal_zone1 which effectively prevents thermal_zone0 removal from making progress. Address this by making thermal_remove_hwmon_sysfs() remove the entire hwmon class device interface for the given thermal zone type when the thermal zone device holding it is removed. To prevent races with thermal_add_hwmon_sysfs() that may interfere with this, carry out the entire addition and removal of hwmon sysfs interfaces for thermal zones under thermal_hwmon_list_lock. Also adjust the layout of the labels in thermal_add_hwmon_sysfs() to the current kernel coding style to align with the new "unlock" label.
