Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br /> <br /> leds: mlxreg: Use devm_mutex_init() for mutex initialization<br /> <br /> In this driver LEDs are registered using devm_led_classdev_register()<br /> so they are automatically unregistered after module&amp;#39;s remove() is done.<br /> led_classdev_unregister() calls module&amp;#39;s led_set_brightness() to turn off<br /> the LEDs and that callback uses mutex which was destroyed already<br /> in module&amp;#39;s remove() so use devm API instead.
