Описание
The Linux kernel before version 5.8 is vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference in drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_core.c:serial8250_isa_init_ports() that allows local users to cause a denial of service by using the p->serial_in pointer which uninitialized.
A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s UART 8250 functionality, in the way certain hardware architectures handled situations where default ports (0x2E8, 0x2F8, 0x3E8, 0x3F8) are not available. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
Отчет
This flaw is rated as having a Moderate impact because the issue can only be triggered by an authorized local user in the tty or in the dialout group.
