      <title>CVE-2025-38448 — usb: gadget: u_serial: Fix race condition in TTY wakeup</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2025-38448</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;usb: gadget: u_serial: Fix race condition in TTY wakeup&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A race condition occurs when gs_start_io() calls either gs_start_rx() or
gs_start_tx(), as those functions briefly drop the port_lock for
usb_ep_queue(). This allows gs_close() and gserial_disconnect() to clear
port.tty and port_usb, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Use the null-safe TTY Port helper function to wake up TTY.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Example
  CPU1:			      CPU2:
  gserial_connect() // lock
  			      gs_close() // await lock
  gs_start_rx()     // unlock
  usb_ep_queue()
  			      gs_close() // lock, reset port.tty and unlock
  gs_start_rx()     // lock
  tty_wakeup()      // NPE&lt;/p&gt;</description>
