CVE-2026-98753 in Linux
要約
〜によって MITRE • 2026年10月18日
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.
