{"id":"CVE-2025-39724","summary":"serial: 8250: fix panic due to PSLVERR","details":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nserial: 8250: fix panic due to PSLVERR\n\nWhen the PSLVERR_RESP_EN parameter is set to 1, the device generates\nan error response if an attempt is made to read an empty RBR (Receive\nBuffer Register) while the FIFO is enabled.\n\nIn serial8250_do_startup(), calling serial_port_out(port, UART_LCR,\nUART_LCR_WLEN8) triggers dw8250_check_lcr(), which invokes\ndw8250_force_idle() and serial8250_clear_and_reinit_fifos(). The latter\nfunction enables the FIFO via serial_out(p, UART_FCR, p-\u003efcr).\nExecution proceeds to the serial_port_in(port, UART_RX).\nThis satisfies the PSLVERR trigger condition.\n\nWhen another CPU (e.g., using printk()) is accessing the UART (UART\nis busy), the current CPU fails the check (value & ~UART_LCR_SPAR) ==\n(lcr & ~UART_LCR_SPAR) in dw8250_check_lcr(), causing it to enter\ndw8250_force_idle().\n\nPut serial_port_out(port, UART_LCR, UART_LCR_WLEN8) under the port-\u003elock\nto fix this issue.\n\nPanic backtrace:\n[    0.442336] Oops - unknown exception [#1]\n[
