Sin embargo, el PM u otras devoluciones de llamada basadas en temporizadores a\u00fan pueden activarse despu\u00e9s de este evento sin saber que el puntero del b\u00fafer no es v\u00e1lido. Dado que el c\u00f3digo de serie es un poco inconsistente al verificar el estado del b\u00fafer (algunos se basan en las posiciones de cabecera y cola, otros en el puntero del b\u00fafer), es mejor tener ambos alineados, es decir, que el puntero del b\u00fafer sea NULL y las posiciones de cabecera y cola sean lo mismo, lo que significa que est\u00e1 vac\u00edo. Esto evitar\u00e1 llamadas asincr\u00f3nicas para desreferenciar el puntero NULL como se inform\u00f3 recientemente en el caso 8250: ERROR: desreferencia del puntero NULL del kernel, direcci\u00f3n: 00000cf5 Cola de trabajo: pm pm_runtime_work EIP: serial8250_tx_chars (drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_port.c:1809). . serial8250_tx_chars (drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_port.c:1809) __start_tx (drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_port.c:1551) serial8250_start_tx (drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_port.c:1654) serial_port_runtime_suspend ( incluir/linux/serial_core.h:667 controladores/tty/serial/serial_port.c:63) __rpm_callback (drivers/base/power/runtime.c:393)? serial_port_remove (drivers/tty/serial/serial_port.c:50) rpm_suspend (drivers/base/power/runtime.c:447) El cambio propuesto evitar\u00e1 que se llame a ->start_tx() durante la suspensi\u00f3n al cerrar el puerto."}], "id": "CVE-2024-26998", "lastModified": "2026-06-17T07:18:53.947", "metrics": {"cvssMetricV31": [{"cvssData": {"attackComplexity": "LOW", "attackVector": "LOCAL", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "baseScore": 5.5, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "userInteraction": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H", "version": "3.1"}, "exploitabilityScore": 1.8, "impactScore": 3.6, "source": "nvd@nist.gov", "type": "Primary"}], "ssvcV203": [{"source": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "ssvcData": {"id": "CVE-2024-26998", "options": [{"exploitation": "none"}, {"automatable": "no"}, {"technicalImpact": "partial"}], "role": "CISA Coordinator", "timestamp": "2024-05-09T18:39:13.227309Z", "version": "2.0.3"}}]}, "published": "2024-05-01T06:15:17.780", "references": [{"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7ae7104d54342433a3a73975f6569beefdd86350"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9cf7ea2eeb745213dc2a04103e426b960e807940"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bb1118905e875c111d7ccef9aee86ac5e4e7f985"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7ae7104d54342433a3a73975f6569beefdd86350"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9cf7ea2eeb745213dc2a04103e426b960e807940"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bb1118905e875c111d7ccef9aee86ac5e4e7f985"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "url": "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/4EZ6PJW7VOZ224TD7N4JZNU6KV32ZJ53/"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "url": "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/DAMSOZXJEPUOXW33WZYWCVAY7Z5S7OOY/"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "url": "https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/GCBZZEC7L7KTWWAS2NLJK6SO3IZIL4WW/"}], "sourceIdentifier": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "vulnStatus": "Modified", "weaknesses": [{"description": [{"lang": "en", "value": "CWE-476"}], "source": "nvd@nist.gov", "type": "Primary"}]}
