CVE-2022-49175

MEDIUM
Published Feb 26, 2025 Modified Oct 22, 2025

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PM: core: keep irq flags in device_pm_check_callbacks() The function device_pm_check_callbacks() can be called under the spin lock (in the reported case it happens from genpd_add_device() -> dev_pm_domain_set(), when the genpd uses spinlocks rather than mutexes. However this function uncoditionally uses spin_lock_irq() / spin_unlock_irq(), thus not preserving the CPU flags. Use the irqsave/irqrestore instead.
