In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tpm: tpm_i2c_nuvoton: disable IRQ on wait timeout i2c_nuvoton_wait_for_stat() enables the IRQ before waiting for the interrupt handler to report a status change. If the wait times out, or is interrupted before the handler runs, the function returns without balancing the enable_irq() call. Disable the IRQ before leaving the failed wait path. Also preserve an interrupted wait's original error code instead of converting it to -ETIMEDOUT inside the helper.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TPM I2C Nuvoton driver. The `i2c_nuvoton_wait_for_stat()` function enables an interrupt (IRQ) but fails to disable it if the wait operation times out or is interrupted. This oversight can lead to an unbalanced IRQ state, potentially causing system instability or resource exhaustion, which could result in a Denial of Service (DoS).
