CVE-2024-42129 Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
leds: mlxreg: Use devm_mutex_init() for mutex initialization
In this driver LEDs are registered using devm_led_classdev_register()
so they are automatically unregistered after module\'s remove() is done.
led_classdev_unregister() calls module\'s led_set_brightness() to turn off
the LEDs and that callback uses mutex which was destroyed already
in module\'s remove() so use devm API instead.
