In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: thermal: core: Fix thermal zone device registration error path If thermal_zone_device_register_with_trips() fails after registering a thermal zone device, it needs to wait for the tz->removal completion like thermal_zone_device_unregister(), in case user space has managed to take a reference to the thermal zone device's kobject, in which case thermal_release() may not be called by the error path itself and tz may be freed prematurely. Add the missing wait_for_completion() call to the thermal zone device registration error path.

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

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - thermal: core: Fix thermal zone device registration error path If     thermal_zone_device_register_with_trips() fails after registering a thermal zone device, it needs to wait     for the tz->removal completion like thermal_zone_device_unregister(), in case user space has managed to     take a reference to the thermal zone device's kobject, in which case thermal_release() may not be called     by the error path itself and tz may be freed prematurely. Add the missing wait_for_completion() call to     the thermal zone device registration error path. (CVE-2026-43332)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1695 advisory.
