Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] tty: vcc: hold port lock when clearing tty pointer in vcc_cleanup
Date: Mon, 03 Aug 2026 16:10:55 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260803-aisle-tty-vcc-v2-2-a50bc9b15193@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260803-aisle-tty-vcc-v2-0-a50bc9b15193@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.
