Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's audio subsystem, specifically in the fsl_xcvr module. This vulnerability allows a local user to trigger a deadlock condition within the system. By attempting to acquire a read lock while already holding a write lock in the same process, the system can become unresponsive. This issue ultimately leads to a Denial of Service (DoS), where the system hangs and becomes unusable.
