In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq: amd-pstate: fix global sysfs attribute type
In commit 3666062b87ec ("cpufreq: amd-pstate: move to use bus_get_dev_root()")
the "amd_pstate" attributes where moved from a dedicated kobject to the
cpu root kobject.
While the dedicated kobject expects to contain kobj_attributes the root
kobject needs device_attributes.
As the changed arguments are not used by the callbacks it works most of
the time.
However CFI will detect this issue:
[ 4947.849350] CFI failure at dev_attr_show+0x24/0x60 (target: show_status+0x0/0x70; expected type: 0x8651b1de)
