Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: Handle failure to register sensor with thermal zone correctly
If an attempt is made to a sensor with a thermal zone and it fails,
the call to devm_thermal_zone_of_sensor_register() may return -ENODEV.
This may result in crashes similar to the following.
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000000003cd

Jon Hunter reports that the exact call sequence is:
hwmon_notify_event()
--> hwmon_thermal_notify()
--> thermal_zone_device_update()
--> update_temperature()
--> mutex_lock()
The hwmon core needs to handle all errors returned from calls
to devm_thermal_zone_of_sensor_register(). If the call fails
with -ENODEV, report that the sensor was not attached to a
thermal zone but continue to register the hwmon device.
