AI-suggested
A patch is available and included in Linux kernel versions 6.8.0-147.147, 6.8.0-1067.70, 7.0.0-1012.12~24.04.1, and other listed fixed versions. Users should update to these fixed kernel versions to resolve the issue. No additional mitigation is required beyond applying the official fix.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's media subsystem (mtk-jpeg driver) caused a warning due to unconditional cancellation of workqueue tasks on all platform variants, including those that do not use workqueues. This was fixed by ensuring cancel_work_sync is only called when a workqueue callback is defined. The issue could lead to kernel warnings and potential stability problems.
