However, the PM or other timer based callbacks\nmay still trigger after this event without knowning that buffer pointer\nis not valid. Since the serial code is a bit inconsistent in checking\nthe buffer state (some rely on the head-tail positions, some on the\nbuffer pointer), it's better to have both aligned, i.e. buffer pointer\nto be NULL and head-tail possitions to be the same, meaning it's empty.\nThis will prevent asynchronous calls to dereference NULL pointer as\nreported recently in 8250 case:\n\n BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 00000cf5\n Workqueue: pm pm_runtime_work\n EIP: serial8250_tx_chars (drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_port.c:1809)\n ...\n ? serial8250_tx_chars (drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_port.c:1809)\n __start_tx (drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_port.c:1551)\n serial8250_start_tx (drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_port.c:1654)\n serial_port_runtime_suspend (include/linux/serial_core.h:667 drivers/tty/serial/serial_port.c:63)\n __rpm_callback (drivers/base/power/runtime.c:393)\n ? serial_port_remove (drivers/tty/serial/serial_port.c:50)\n rpm_suspend (drivers/base/power/runtime.c:447)\n\nThe proposed change will prevent ->start_tx() to be called during\nsuspend on shut down port."}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c"], "versions": [{"version": "434beb66368d4fb4d3119c2116b9398500adbf47", "lessThan": "7ae7104d54342433a3a73975f6569beefdd86350", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "43066e32227ecde674e8ae1fcdd4a1ede67680c2", "lessThan": "bb1118905e875c111d7ccef9aee86ac5e4e7f985", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "43066e32227ecde674e8ae1fcdd4a1ede67680c2", "lessThan": "9cf7ea2eeb745213dc2a04103e426b960e807940", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "a629a9b2f7699314a4abe8fbc37b0ee667b60f33", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.8", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.8", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.29", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.8.8", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.8.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.9", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6.24", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.29"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.8.8"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.8", "versionEndExcluding": "6.9"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.7.12"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7ae7104d54342433a3a73975f6569beefdd86350"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bb1118905e875c111d7ccef9aee86ac5e4e7f985"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9cf7ea2eeb745213dc2a04103e426b960e807940"}], "title": "serial: core: Clearing the circular buffer before NULLifying it", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}, "adp": [{"metrics": [{"other": {"type": "ssvc", "content": {"id": "CVE-2024-26998", "role": "CISA Coordinator", "options": [{"Exploitation": "none"}, {"Automatable": "no"}, {"Technical Impact": "partial"}], "version": "2.0.3", "timestamp": "2024-05-09T18:39:13.227309Z"}}}], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": {"orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2024-07-05T17:22:46.551Z"}}, {"providerMetadata": {"orgId": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "shortName": "CVE", "dateUpdated": "2024-08-02T00:21:05.918Z"}, "title": "CVE Program Container", "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7ae7104d54342433a3a73975f6569beefdd86350", "tags": ["x_transferred"]}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bb1118905e875c111d7ccef9aee86ac5e4e7f985", "tags": ["x_transferred"]}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9cf7ea2eeb745213dc2a04103e426b960e807940", "tags": ["x_transferred"]}]}]}}
