Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's wave5 media driver. During the removal of the wave5 module in polling mode, a timing issue, known as a race condition, can occur. This happens because the process that destroys the worker is initiated before the timer that queues work is fully canceled. This can lead to kernel warnings, potentially causing system instability or unexpected behavior when the module is unloaded.

Mitigation

No mitigation is specified in collected source.
