Description

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

led: qcom-lpg: Fix sleeping in atomic

lpg_brighness_set() function can sleep, while led's brightness_set()
callback must be non-blocking. Change LPG driver to use
brightness_set_blocking() instead.

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:580
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 0, name: swapper/0
preempt_count: 101, expected: 0
INFO: lockdep is turned off.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
