Summary

CVE-2024-39292 is a vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel. This issue involves the winch subsystem where registering a winch IRQ before adding it to the winch_handlers list can result in a panic. The race condition arises due to the interruption occurring before the winch is added to the list. To mitigate this, the patch adds the winch to the winch_handlers list prior to registering the IRQ, and rolls back if the registration fails to ensure the winch is valid before use.
