Overview

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fbdev: ssd1307fb: defer I2C transfers from damage callbacks The fbdev damage callbacks may run from fbcon while printk has disabled preemption. They currently update the display synchronously, which enters the sleeping I2C transfer path from atomic context.
