CVE-2026-43458

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: serial: caif: hold tty-link reference in ldiscopen and serrelease A reproducer triggers a KASAN slab-use-after-free in ptywriteroom when caifserial's TX path calls ttywriteroom. The faulting access is on tty-link-port. Hold an...

CVE-2026-43458

The CVE affects the Linux kernel’s caif_serial line discipline. A use-after-free (KASAN slab UAF) could be triggered in pty_write_room() when the caif_serial TX path invokes tty_write_room(), accessing tty->link->port. Root cause: improper management of the tty->link reference during ldi...
