CVE-2024-27006

/// Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

thermal/debugfs: Add missing count increment to thermal_debug_tz_trip_up()

The count field in struct trip_stats, representing the number of times

the zone temperature was above the trip point, needs to be incremented

in thermal_debug_tz_trip_up(), for two reasons.

First, if a trip point is crossed on the way up for the first time,

thermal_debug_update_temp() called from update_temperature() does

not see it because it has not been added to trips_crossed[] array

in the thermal zone's struct tz_debugfs object yet. Therefore, when

thermal_debug_tz_trip_up() is called after that, the trip point's

count value is 0, and the attempt to divide by it during the average

temperature computation leads to a divide error which causes the kernel

to crash. Setting the count to 1 before the division by incrementing it

fixes this problem.

Second, if a trip point is crossed on the way up, but it has been

crossed on the way up alread
