Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's pinctrl subsystem for Amlogic A4 devices. A local attacker could trigger a deadlock by accessing the pinconf-pins sysfs node. This occurs because the pinconf_pins_show() function attempts to acquire a mutex that is already held, leading to a system freeze or unresponsiveness. This vulnerability can result in a denial of service.

No mitigation is specified in collected source.
