Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's iio: gyro: mpu3050 driver was fixed by correcting the IRQ handler used in the free_irq() call during teardown. The incorrect handler could lead to improper resource release. This issue affects specific linux-azure kernel versions. The vulnerability has a medium severity with a CVSS score of 5.5 and does not impact confidentiality or integrity but affects availability. A patch is available to address this issue.
