Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\nserial: core: check uartclk for zero to avoid divide by zero\nCalling ioctl TIOCSSERIAL with an invalid baud_base can\nresult in uartclk being zero, which will result in a\ndivide by zero error in uart_get_divisor(). The check for\nuartclk being zero in uart_set_info() needs to be done\nbefore other settings are made as subsequent calls to\nioctl TIOCSSERIAL for the same port would be impacted if\nthe uartclk check was done where uartclk gets set.\nOops: divide error: 0000 PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI\nRIP: 0010:uart_get_divisor (drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c:580)\nCall Trace:\n\nserial8250_get_divisor (drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_port.c:2576\ndrivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_port.c:2589)\nserial8250_do_set_termios (drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_port.c:502\ndrivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_port.c:2741)\nserial8250_set_termios (drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250_port.c:2862)\nuart_change_line_settings (./include/linux/spinlock.h:376\n./include/linux/serial_core.h:608 drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c:222)\nuart_port_startup (drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c:342)\nuart_startup (drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c:368)\nuart_set_info (drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c:1034)\nuart_set_info_user (drivers/tty/serial/serial_core.c:1059)\ntty_set_serial (drivers/tty/tty_io.c:2637)\ntty_ioctl (drivers/tty/tty_io.c:2647 drivers/tty/tty_io.c:2791)\n__x64_sys_ioctl (fs/ioctl.c:52 fs/ioctl.c:907\nfs/ioctl.c:893 fs/ioctl.c:893)\ndo_syscall_64 (arch/x86/entry/common.c:52\n(discriminator 1) arch/x86/entry/common.c:83 (discriminator 1))\nentry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe (arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:130)\nRule: add
