Subject: [PATCH] USB: cdc-acm: fix NULL-deref on hangup
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2026 14:37:55 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261019123755.2008384-1-johan@kernel.org> (raw)

Make sure to take a reference to the port tty when processing carrier
detect changes to avoid dereferencing a NULL pointer when the port is
being hung up.

Fixes: 3b563b901eef ("usb: cdc-acm: add PPS support")
