"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: core: delete incorrect free in pinctrl_enable() The pctldev
struct is allocated in devm_pinctrl_register_and_init(). It's a devm_
managed pointer that is freed by devm_pinctrl_dev_release(), so
freeing it in pinctrl_enable() will lead to a double free. The
devm_pinctrl_dev_release() function frees the pindescs and destroys
the mutex as well.
This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
