The vulnerability of the devfreq_monitor() function in the drivers/devfreq/devfreq.c driver module allows a hacker to cause a system failure. This vulnerability relates to the dynamic frequency and voltage scaling support of the Linux kernel, which can be exploited by attackers.

The vulnerability of the devfreqmonitor function in the drivers/devfreq/devfreq.c driver module, which supports dynamic scaling of voltage and frequency DVFS for the Linux operating system’s kernel, stems from the execution of a loop with an unreachable exit condition. Exploiting this vulnerabili...
