Summary

In the libwx driver in the Linux kernel, request_threaded_irq() was used with a primary handler but no threaded handler, along with the IRQF_ONESHOT flag. This combination triggers a kernel warning. The fix switches to request_irq() and removes the unnecessary flag.

Risk Assessment

The risk is kernel warnings that could mask more serious issues or affect system performance.

Recommendation

Update the Linux kernel to a version that includes the fix for the libwx driver.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: libwx: use request_irq for VF misc interrupt Currently, request_threaded_irq() is used with a primary handler but a NULL threaded handler, while also setting the IRQF_ONESHOT flag. This specific combination triggers a WARNING since the commit aef30c8d569c ("genirq: Warn about using IRQF_ONESHOT without a threaded handler"). WARNING: kernel/irq/manage.c:1502 at __setup_irq+0x4fa/0x760 Fix the issue by switching to request_irq(), which is the appropriate interface or a non-threaded interrupt handler, and removing the unnecessary IRQF_ONESHOT flag.
