## Overview

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

media: platform: exynos4-is: Add hardware sync wait to fimc_is_hw_change_mode()

In fimc_is_hw_change_mode(), the function changes camera modes without
waiting for hardware completion, risking corrupted data or system hangs
if subsequent operations proceed before the hardware is ready.

Add fimc_is_hw_wait_intmsr0_intmsd0() after mode configuration, ensuring
hardware state synchronization and stable interrupt handling.

## Affected

- `linux_kernel >= 3.10, < 5.4.295`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.5, < 5.10.239`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.11, < 5.15.186`
- `linux_kernel >= 5.16, < 6.15.4`
- `debian_linux = 11.0`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `linux_kernel 6.15.4`
