Summary

In the Linux kernel, in the Input ims-pcu driver, a race condition was detected in the reset_device sysfs callback. The ims_pcu_reset_device() function calls ims_pcu_execute_command() without acquiring pcu->cmd_mutex, which can lead to data races and corruption of the shared command buffer if triggered concurrently with other commands.

Risk Assessment

The race may lead to data corruption, system crashes, or unpredictable driver behavior, which could be exploited by a malicious device.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel patch that acquires pcu->cmd_mutex before calling ims_pcu_execute_command(). Update the system to a kernel version containing this fix.
