**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** Linux kernel (affected versions not specified) **Description** The issue is related to a crash that occurs when an IRQ is pending during the probe of the adv7511 driver in the Linux kernel. Specifically, if an IRQ is already pending during the `adv7511 probe()` function, before the `adv7511 cec init()` function is called, then the `cec received msg ts()` function could crash using uninitialized data. This results in an internal error, with the kernel unable to handle a read from unreadable memory at a specific virtual address, leading to a call trace that includes functions such as `cec received msg ts()`, `adv7511 cec irq process()`, `adv7511 irq process()`, `adv7511 irq handler()`, `irq thread fn()`, `irq thread()`, and `kthread()`. **Recommendations** At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
