CVE-2022-49010

Medium 5.5

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hwmon: (coretemp) Check for null before removing sysfs attrs If coretemp_add_core() gets an error then pdata->core_data[indx] is already NULL and has been kfreed. Don't pass that to sysfs_remove_group() as that will crash in sysfs_remove_group().
