M\u00faltiples ttys intentan reclamar el mismo n\u00famero menor, lo que provoca una doble cancelaci\u00f3n del registro del mismo dispositivo. La primera cancelaci\u00f3n del registro se realiza correctamente, pero la siguiente genera un null-ptr-deref. La funci\u00f3n get_free_serial_index() devuelve un n\u00famero menor disponible pero no lo asigna inmediatamente. La asignaci\u00f3n la realiza la persona que llama m\u00e1s tarde. Pero antes de esta asignaci\u00f3n, las llamadas a get_free_serial_index() devolver\u00edan el mismo n\u00famero menor. Solucione este problema modificando get_free_serial_index para asignar el n\u00famero menor inmediatamente despu\u00e9s de que se encuentre uno y c\u00e1mbiele el nombre a get_minor() para reflejar mejor lo que hace. De manera similar, cambie el nombre de set_serial_by_index() a release_minor() y modif\u00edquelo para liberar el n\u00famero menor del hso_serial dado. Cada get_minor() debe tener la llamada release_minor() correspondiente.\"}],\"metrics\":{\"cvssMetricV31\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"cvssData\":{\"version\":\"3.1\",\"vectorString\":\"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H\",\"attackVector\":\"LOCAL\",\"attackComplexity\":\"LOW\",\"privilegesRequired\":\"LOW\",\"userInteraction\":\"NONE\",\"scope\":\"UNCHANGED\",\"confidentialityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"integrityImpact\":\"NONE\",\"availabilityImpact\":\"HIGH\",\"baseScore\":5.5,\"baseSeverity\":\"MEDIUM\"},\"exploitabilityScore\":1.8,\"impactScore\":3.6}]},\"weaknesses\":[{\"source\":\"nvd@nist.gov\",\"type\":\"Primary\",\"description\":[{\"lang\":\"en\",\"value\":\"CWE-476\"}]}],\"configurations\":[{\"nodes\":[{\"operator\":\"OR\",\"negate\":false,\"cpeMatch\":[{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"2.6.27\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"4.4.268\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"659FF119-13E0-486C-96F2-C0126F87D0CB\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"4.5.0\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"4.9.268\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"2DBC0886-BE0B-4CA4-AF1B-531144C8BE34\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"4.10.0\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"4.14.232\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"316D2418-B6F3-454C-AA83-1577F40CFABA\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"4.15.0\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"4.19.187\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"123664FC-5EE8-4D91-9E83-09583F5FDDCF\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"4.20.0\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"5.4.112\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"7FDB5646-9EDD-4F92-BF93-0F19CF52612D\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"5.5.0\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"5.10.30\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"05B46463-5756-48FE-AC75-227FB4CA982B\"},{\"vulnerable\":true,\"criteria\":\"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*\",\"versionStartIncluding\":\"5.11.0\",\"versionEndExcluding\":\"5.11.14\",\"matchCriteriaId\":\"91BEA1D8-08CA-4B9C-9A3C-7856507EC311\"}]}]}],\"references\":[{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/145c89c441d27696961752bf51b323f347601bee\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/388d05f70f1ee0cac4a2068fd295072f1a44152a\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4a2933c88399c0ebc738db39bbce3ae89786d723\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8a12f8836145ffe37e9c8733dce18c22fb668b66\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/92028d7a31e55d53e41cff679156b9432cffcb36\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a462067d7c8e6953a733bf5ade8db947b1bb5449\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/caf5ac93b3b5d5fac032fc11fbea680e115421b4\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]},{\"url\":\"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/dc195928d7e4ec7b5cfc6cd10dc4c8d87a7c72ac\",\"source\":\"416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67\",\"tags\":[\"Patch\"]}]}}"
