Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux Kernel versions prior to v4.14.249
Description
A potential issue exists in the Linux Kernel, specifically in the cpufreq: schedutil component. The problem arises from the destruction of a mutex before the kobject put() function frees the memory. This issue was introduced in version v4.14.249 and is fixed in the same version by a specific commit. The actual impact and attack plausibility have not yet been proven.
Recommendations
For Linux Kernel versions prior to v4.14.249, update to version v4.14.249 or later to resolve the issue.
