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.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's audio subsystem, specifically in the fsl_xcvr module. This vulnerability allows a local user to trigger a deadlock condition within the system. By attempting to acquire a read lock while already holding a write lock in the same process, the system can become unresponsive. This issue ultimately leads to a Denial of Service (DoS), where the system hangs and becomes unusable.
