In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: tty_port: restore TTY_IO_ERROR on activation failure
Make sure to restore the TTY_IO_ERROR flag if activation fails to
prevent I/O attempts on a port that is gone or powered down.
This specifically avoids issues like kernel panic due to unclocked
accesses or NULL-pointer dereferences when accessing powered down or
deregistered ports when a TTY ioctl races with hangup and open.
Note that the flag is set again in tty_port_close() but not restoring it
on activation failure leaves a window where drivers fail to handle the
ioctl-hangup race.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TTY subsystem. A local user can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by triggering a race condition during terminal device activation and hangup operations. When device activation fails, the kernel fails to restore an error flag, allowing subsequent input/output operations on powered-down or deregistered ports. This improper access can trigger a null-pointer dereference or unclocked hardware access, resulting in a kernel crash.
