Vulnerability Details : CVE-2024-50028
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thermal: core: Reference count the zone in thermal_zone_get_by_id()
There are places in the thermal netlink code where nothing prevents
the thermal zone object from going away while being accessed after it
has been returned by thermal_zone_get_by_id().
To address this, make thermal_zone_get_by_id() get a reference on the
thermal zone device object to be returned with the help of get_device(),
under thermal_list_lock, and adjust all of its callers to this change
with the help of the cleanup.h infrastructure.
