CVE-2024-27000 Information

May 04, 2024 cve

Description

In the Linux kernel the following vulnerability has been resolved:

serial: mxs-auart: add spinlock around changing cts state

The uart_handle_cts_change() function in serial_core expects the caller to hold uport->lock. For example I have seen the below kernel splat when the Bluetooth driver is loaded on an i.MX28 board.
