CVE-2024-40965

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)

Description A deadlock has been observed in the Linux kernel when adding the tlv320aic32x4 audio codec to the system. This occurs because the clock provider needs to access i2c, which in turn requires the mutex for clk get rate. To resolve this issue, the clock rate is locked and cached instead of repeatedly calling clk get rate for each transfer.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
