CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedA race condition vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel's ims-pcu component, where the ims_pcu_reset_device() sysfs callback can invoke ims_pcu_execute_command() without proper mutex protection. This oversight may lead to data races and potential corruption of the shared command buffer when commands are executed concurrently. Linux system administrators and developers utilizing the affected kernel should prioritize applying the fix to mitigate risks associated with data integrity and system stability.
Original NVD Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Input: ims-pcu - fix race condition in reset_device sysfs callback The ims_pcu_reset_device() sysfs callback calls ims_pcu_execute_command() without acquiring pcu->cmd_mutex. This can lead to data races and corruption of the shared command buffer if triggered concurrently with other commands. Acquire pcu->cmd_mutex before calling ims_pcu_execute_command().
