Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description The issue is related to a potential deadlock warning in the i2c component of the Linux kernel. When del timer sync() is called in an interrupt context, it throws a warning because of a potential deadlock. The timer is used to exit from wait for completion() after a timeout.
