Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Improper locking (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-64528)

CWE-ID: CWE-667 - Improper Locking

CVSSv4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper lock handling in s3c24xx_serial_rx_enable() and s3c24xx_serial_rx_disable() when console flow control is engaged during transmit state changes. A local user can trigger the affected serial driver code path to cause a denial of service.

The issue occurs because the code attempts to reacquire the same non-recursive spinlock while it is already held on the same CPU.
