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."}, {"lang": "es", "value": "En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: serial: core: borrando el b\u00fafer circular antes de anularlo. El b\u00fafer circular se anula en uart_tty_port_shutdown() bajo el bloqueo de giro. Sin embargo, el PM u otras devoluciones de llamada basadas en temporizadores a\u00fan pueden activarse despu\u00e9s de este evento sin saber que el puntero del b\u00fafer no es v\u00e1lido. Dado que el c\u00f3digo de serie es un poco inconsistente al verificar el estado del b\u00fafer (algunos se basan en las posiciones de cabecera y cola, otros en el puntero del b\u00fafer), es mejor tener ambos alineados, es decir, que el puntero del b\u00fafer sea NULL y las posiciones de cabecera y cola sean lo mismo, lo que significa que est\u00e1 vac\u00edo.
