How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:10 kernel-debug-devel-matched.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-debug-devel-matched package and not the kernel-debug-devel-matched package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

hwmon: (lm90) Add lock protection to lm90_alert

Sashiko reports:

lm90_alert() executes in the smbus alert context and calls lm90_update_confreg() to disable the hardware alert line, without acquiring hwmon_lock.

Concurrently, sysfs write operations (such as lm90_write_convrate) hold the hwmon_lock, temporarily modify data->config, and then restore it.

If an alert interrupt occurs concurrently with a sysfs write, the sysfs path will overwrite the alert handler's modifications to data->config and the hardware register.

This unintentionally re-enables the hardware alert line while the alarm is still active, causing an interrupt storm.

Add the missing lock to lm90_alert() to solve the problem.
