AI-suggested
A fix is available that refactors the power supply update logic to avoid locking in interrupt context. Users should apply the updated Linux kernel versions that include this fix. No additional mitigation is required beyond patching.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's HID driver for Corsair Void devices caused kernel panics due to improper locking in interrupt context. The issue was fixed by refactoring the power supply update mechanism to use a unified work handler, eliminating the problematic locking. This flaw affects multiple Linux kernel versions used in various Ubuntu LTS releases.
