CVE-2024-26722

Summary

CVE-2024-26722 is a vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel's ASoC (Audio Subsystem On-Chip) driver for the rt5645 chipset. The issue lies in the rt5645_jack_detect_work() function where the mutex rt5645->jd_mutex is not properly released, resulting in a deadlock. This occurs when the function is called for a second time, potentially leading to system instability or denial of service. The Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) discovered this flaw through their SVACE (Static and Dynamic Analysis for Linux Kernel) project.
