CVE-2025-38335CVE-2025-38335
linux / linux_kernel
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: gpio-keys - fix a sleep while atomic with PREEMPT_RT
When enabling PREEMPT_RT, the gpio_keys_irq_timer() callback runs in
hard irq context, but the input_event() takes a spin_lock, which isn't
allowed there as it is converted to a rt_spin_lock().
[ 4054.289999] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48
[ 4054.290028] in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 1, non_block: 0, pid: 0, name: swapper/0
