Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's dmaengine: dw-edma component. A race condition exists where the pause() and resume() functions can access and modify the channel state without proper synchronization, while interrupt handlers update the same state under a lock. This inconsistency can lead to a channel becoming unresponsive, effectively causing a denial of service. A local attacker could potentially exploit this to render the affected Direct Memory Access (DMA) channel unusable.
