Vulnerability from github
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86: lenovo-yoga-tab2-pro-1380-fastcharger: fix serdev race
The yt2_1380_fc_serdev_probe() function calls devm_serdev_device_open() before setting the client ops via serdev_device_set_client_ops(). This ordering can trigger a NULL pointer dereference in the serdev controller's receive_buf handler, as it assumes serdev->ops is valid when SERPORT_ACTIVE is set.
This is similar to the issue fixed in commit 5e700b384ec1 ("platform/chrome: cros_ec_uart: properly fix race condition") where devm_serdev_device_open() was called before fully initializing the device.
Fix the race by ensuring client ops are set before enabling the port via devm_serdev_device_open().
Note, serdev_device_set_baudrate() and serdev_device_set_flow_control() calls should be after the devm_serdev_device_open() call.
