Overview
About vulnerability
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
macintosh/via-macii: Fix “BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context”
The via-macii ADB driver calls request_irq() after disabling hard interrupts. But disabling interrupts isn’t necessary here because the VIA shift register interrupt was masked during VIA1 initialization.
