"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: protect uart_port_dtr_rts() in uart_shutdown() too Commit
af224ca2df29 (serial: core: Prevent unsafe uart port access, part 3)
added few uport == NULL checks. It added one to uart_shutdown(), so
the commit assumes, uport can be NULL in there. But right after that
protection, there is an unprotected uart_port_dtr_rts(uport, false);
call. That is invoked only if HUPCL is set, so I assume that is the
reason why we do not see lots of these reports. Or it cannot be
NULL at this point at all for some reason :P. Until the above is
investigated, stay on the safe side and move this dereference to the
if too. I got this inconsistency from Coverity under CID 1585130.
Thanks.
