Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-03-27 17:04:49 UTC
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ptdma: pt_core_execute_cmd() should use spinlock

The interrupt handler (pt_core_irq_handler()) of the ptdma
driver can be called from interrupt context. The code flow
in this function can lead down to pt_core_execute_cmd() which
will attempt to grab a mutex, which is not appropriate in
interrupt context and ultimately leads to a kernel panic.
The fix here changes this mutex to a spinlock, which has
been verified to resolve the issue.
