Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: core: do fallible allocations before the console can be registered
serial_core_add_one_port() allocates uport->tty_groups after
uart_configure_port(), which may register the console. If the allocation
fails, the driver unwinds the port while its console remains registered.
The earlier uport->name allocation has a related failure path that leaves
state->uart_port linked to a port being freed.
Failslab reproduced a NULL dereference in PL011 console output and a KASAN
use-after-free in i.MX console output after failed binds.
Allocate the name and tty_groups before linking the port and configuring
it. Reserve space for the optional driver attribute group because
config_port() may populate uport->attr_group during configuration.
