In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iio: gyro: mpu3050: Fix incorrect freeirq() variable

The handler for the IRQ part of this driver is mpu3050->trig but, in the teardown freeirq() is called with handler mpu3050.

Use correct IRQ handler when calling freeirq().

Frequently Asked Questions

1

Which systems are exposed and what access does an attacker need?

Exposure is limited to Linux systems using the iio/gyro/mpu3050 driver. Exploitation requires local access and low privileges, according to the CVSS vector.

2

What is the practical impact of triggering the flaw?

The issue affects the driver's teardown path, where free_irq() is called with mpu3050 instead of the IRQ handler mpu3050->trig. The reported impact is denial of service; confidentiality and integrity are not affected in the supplied CVSS assessment.

3

What remediation is available?

Apply an available patch from the referenced stable kernel commits. The supplied data does not identify a separate workaround or mitigation for systems that cannot be patched immediately.
