Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ADAU1372 audio codec driver. The driver improperly utilizes non-sleepable operations to toggle power-down General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) pins that can sleep, such as those connected through external bus controllers. A local user triggering audio power-state changes could cause a Denial of Service (DoS) or system instability due to triggered kernel warnings.
