Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-10-04 16:02:28 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

cpufreq: davinci: Fix clk use after free

The remove function first frees the clks and only then calls
cpufreq_unregister_driver(). If one of the cpufreq callbacks is called
just before cpufreq_unregister_driver() is run, the freed clks might be
used.
