## Overview

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

gpio: aggregator: remove the software node when deactivating the aggregator

The dynamic software node we create for the aggregator platform device
when using configfs is leaked when the device is deactivated. Destroy it
as the last step in the tear-down path.

## Affected

- `linux_kernel >= 6.16, < 6.18.34`
- `linux_kernel >= 6.19, < 7.0.11`
- `linux_kernel = 7.1`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `linux_kernel 7.0.11`
