Subject: [PATCH 04/11] USB: serial: io_edgeport: fix potential NULL-deref at open
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2026 16:11:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261021141154.2324793-5-johan@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261021141154.2324793-1-johan@kernel.org>
Do not mark the port as open until after the write FIFO has been
allocated and initialised to prevent a racing interrupt completion from
attempting to send stale data and dereferencing the FIFO buffer pointer.
Note that the open flag defaults to false and is cleared on close() so
there is no need to reinitialise it on every open().
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
