Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: max3100: Lock port->lock when calling uart_handle_cts_change()
uart_handle_cts_change() has to be called with port lock taken,
Since we run it in a separate work, the lock may not be taken at
the time of running. Make sure that it's taken by explicitly doing
that. Without it we got a splat:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 10 at drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c:3491 uart_handle_cts_change+0xa6/0xb0
...
Workqueue: max3100-0 max3100_work [max3100]
RIP: 0010:uart_handle_cts_change+0xa6/0xb0
