## Overview

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

## Affected

- `linux_kernel >= 6.6, < 6.6.19`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.7, < 6.7.7`
- `linux_kernel = 6.6.19`
- `linux_kernel = 6.8`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `linux_kernel 6.7.7`
