CVE-2026-72238

CVE-2026-72238 affects the Linux kernel in the x86/boot path, where an empty/0/invalid baud rate for uart8250 could lead to a division by zero in early_serial_init() and cause a hang during early boot. The documented fix is to fall back to DEFAULT_BAUD when the computed baud rate is 0. The connec...
