Summary

In the Linux kernel, a patch for ASoC fsl_xcvr that attempted to add a missing lock in fsl_xcvr_mode_put() was reverted. The original patch caused a deadlock and hung task because the function is already called with the lock held.

Risk Assessment

The system may hang during a put operation on the audio driver, leading to denial of service (DoS).

Recommendation

Apply the latest Linux kernel patch that reverts the problematic change and resolves the deadlock.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: fsl_xcvr: Revert fix missing lock in fsl_xcvr_mode_put() This reverts commit f51424872760 ("ASoC: fsl_xcvr: fix missing lock in fsl_xcvr_mode_put()"). The original patch attempted to acquire the card->controls_rwsem lock in fsl_xcvr_mode_put(). However, this function is called from the upper ALSA core function snd_ctl_elem_write(), which already holds the write lock on controls_rwsem for the whole put operation. So there is no need to simply hold the lock for fsl_xcvr_activate_ctl() again. Acquiring the read lock while holding the write lock in the same thread results in a deadlock and a hung task, as reported by Alexander Stein.
