tty: serial: fsl_lpuart: disable dma rx/tx use flags in lpuart_dma_shutdown

Published Sep 18, 2025 CVSS 3.1 · 5.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tty: serial: fsl_lpuart: disable dma rx/tx use flags in lpuart_dma_shutdown

lpuart_dma_shutdown tears down lpuart dma, but lpuart_flush_buffer can
still occur which in turn tries to access dma apis if lpuart_dma_tx_use
flag is true. At this point since dma is torn down, these dma apis can
abort. Set lpuart_dma_tx_use and the corresponding rx flag
lpuart_dma_rx_use to false in lpuart_dma_shutdown so that dmas are not
accessed after they are relinquished.

Otherwise, when try to kill btattach, kernel may panic. This patch may
fix this issue.
