CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HIn the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: mcp251x: fix deadlock in error path of mcp251x_open The mcp251x_open() function call free_irq() in its error path with the mpc_lock mutex held. But if an interrupt already occurred the interrupt handler will be waiting for the mpc_lock and free_irq() will deadlock waiting for the handler to finish. This issue is similar to the one fixed in commit 7dd9c26bd6cf ("can: mcp251x: fix deadlock if an interrupt occurs during mcp251x_open") but for the error path. To solve this issue move the call to free_irq() after the lock is released. Setting `priv->force_quit = 1` beforehand ensure that the IRQ handler will exit right away once it acquired the lock. A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's mcp251x Controller Area Network (CAN) driver. A local attacker could trigger a deadlock condition within the `mcp251x_open()` function's error handling path. This occurs when the `free_irq()` function is called while the `mpc_lock` mutex is held and an interrupt simultaneously occurs, causing the interrupt handler to wait for the same lock. This can lead to a system hang, resulting in a denial of service.
