Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux Kernel versions prior to v5.14.10
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 and fixed in the same version, v5.14.10, through specific commits. The actual impact and attack plausibility have not yet been proven.
Recommendations For Linux Kernel versions prior to v5.14.10, update to version v5.14.10 or later to resolve the issue.
