In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: max3100: Lock port->lock when calling uart_handle_cts_change()
uart_handle_cts_change() has to be called with port lock taken,
Since we run it in a separate work, the lock may not be taken at
the time of running. Make sure that it’s taken by explicitly doing
that. Without it we got a splat:
