Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's i.MX Messaging Unit (MU) mailbox driver. A local user could exploit a race condition during channel shutdown to cause a Denial of Service (DoS). When a mailbox channel is closed while an interrupt is actively being processed, the receive event can be inadvertently re-enabled after shutdown. On systems with shared interrupt lines, subsequent unhandled interrupts can prompt the kernel to shut down the interrupt line, disrupting dependent hardware services.
