Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's spi-sprd driver. This vulnerability occurs when the driver attempts to release Direct Memory Access (DMA) channels after a DMA setup failure during the probe phase. Without properly checking if DMA is enabled, the driver may try to dereference an invalid pointer or release an already released channel, which can lead to system instability or a denial of service.
Mitigation
No mitigation is specified in collected source.
