Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: watchdog: pretimeout: Fix UAF in watchdog_unregister_governor() When a watchdog governor is unregistered, it updates existing watchdog devices that were using this governor by falling back to default_gov. If the governor being unregistered is currently set as default_gov, the default_gov is never cleared. This leads to 2 use-after-free issues: 1. New watchdog devices registered after this point will inherit the dangling default_gov. 2. Existing watchdog devices using the unregistered governor will have their wdd->gov reassigned to the dangling default_gov. Fix the UAF by clearing default_gov if it matches the governor being unregistered.
