Subject: [PATCH 2/2] tty: vcc: hold port lock when clearing tty pointer in vcc_cleanup
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2026 10:15:18 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260731-aisle-tty-vcc-v1-2-962e18beb8a8@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260731-aisle-tty-vcc-v1-0-962e18beb8a8@linuxfoundation.org>

From: Joshua Rogers <linux@joshua.hu>

vcc_cleanup() sets port->tty to NULL without holding port->lock, racing
with vcc_event() LDC callbacks that read port->tty under port->lock and
then use tty->port. This can cause a use-after-free when the callback
dereferences tty->port after cleanup has already destroyed and freed it.
