In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

hwmon: (lm90) Add lock protection to lm90_alert

Sashiko reports:

lm90_alert() executes in the smbus alert context and calls
lm90_update_confreg() to disable the hardware alert line, without
acquiring hwmon_lock.

Concurrently, sysfs write operations (such as lm90_write_convrate) hold
the hwmon_lock, temporarily modify data-&gt;config, and then restore it.

If an alert interrupt occurs concurrently with a sysfs write, the sysfs
path will overwrite the alert handler's modifications to data-&gt;config
and the hardware register.

This unintentionally re-enables the hardware alert line while the alarm is
still active, causing an interrupt storm.

Add the missing lock to lm90_alert() to solve the problem.
