Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Apple Touch Bar keyboard driver. This vulnerability allows the system to become unstable or crash (kernel panic) when the driver's inactivity autodim feature attempts to acquire a lock from an inappropriate execution context. This can be triggered by a local user interacting with the Touch Bar, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS).
