NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-azure package and not the kernel-azure package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.5 relevant fixed versions and status.

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

pmdomain: mediatek: fix race conditions with genpd

If the power domains are registered first with genpd and after that the driver attempts to power them on in the probe sequence, then it is possible that a race condition occurs if genpd tries to power them on in the same time. The same is valid for powering them off before unregistering them from genpd. Attempt to fix race conditions by first removing the domains from genpd and after that powering down domains. Also first power up the domains and after that register them to genpd.
