AI-suggested
A fix is available and has been applied in the Linux kernel commits identified by the fixedVersions hashes. Users and administrators should update to a Linux kernel version that includes these fixes to remediate the vulnerability. Since this is a kernel-level issue, applying the official patch or upgrading the kernel is the recommended mitigation.
Description
CVE-2026-92504 is a high-severity vulnerability in the Linux kernel's thermal driver for Intel int3400. It involves improper cleanup of ODVP (On-Die Voltage Parameters) sysfs files and storage when probe failures occur after the evaluate_odvp() function but before the thermal zone and related resources are fully registered. This can lead to leftover ODVP state and cached pointers, potentially causing system instability or security issues. The flaw has been fixed by moving the ODVP cleanup to a common unwind path and clearing cached pointers to ensure proper resource release on all failure paths.
