Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's lm90 hardware monitoring driver. A missing lock in the alert interrupt handler allows concurrent sysfs write operations to overwrite the alert configuration, unintentionally re-enabling the hardware alert line while an alarm remains active. A local user with permission to modify sysfs attributes can trigger this race condition, resulting in an interrupt storm and a Denial of Service (DoS).
