Summary

In the pinctrl driver for Amlogic A4 SoCs in the Linux kernel, accessing the pinconf-pins sysfs node caused a deadlock because pinctrl_find_gpio_range_from_pin() tried to acquire the same mutex again.

Risk Assessment

The organization may experience system hangs when configuring GPIO pins on Amlogic A4 platforms.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that uses pinctrl_find_gpio_range_from_pin_nolock() instead of the locking version.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pinctrl: meson: amlogic-a4: fix deadlock issue Accessing the pinconf-pins sysfs node may deadlock. pinconf_pins_show() holds pctldev->mutex, and the platform driver calls pinctrl_find_gpio_range_from_pin(), which tries to acquire the same mutex again, leading to a deadlock. Use pinctrl_find_gpio_range_from_pin_nolock() to fix this issue.
