    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

    thermal/core: Fix memory leak in __thermal_cooling_device_register()

    I got memory leak as follows when doing fault injection test:

    unreferenced object 0xffff888010080000 (size 264312):
      comm 182, pid 102533, jiffies 4296434960 (age 10.100s)

    If device_register() fails, thermal_cooling_device_destroy_sysfs() need be called
    to free the memory allocated in thermal_cooling_device_setup_sysfs().

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
