Title
hwmon: (nct6775) Fix access to temperature configuration registers
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hwmon: (nct6775) Fix access to temperature configuration registers The number of temperature configuration registers does not always match the total number of temperature registers. This can result in access errors reported if KASAN is enabled. BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in nct6775_probe+0x5654/0x6fe9 nct6775_core
Severity
