Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's tmp006 temperature sensor driver. This vulnerability occurs because the driver incorrectly handles the registration and de-registration of a hardware trigger. When the module is unloaded, a pointer to freed memory remains active, creating a 'dangling pointer'. This can lead to system instability or potentially allow an attacker to cause a denial of service.
Mitigation
No mitigation is specified in collected source.
