CVE-2026-63883

EUVD-2026-45768
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

serial: qcom_geni: fix kfifo underflow when flush precedes DMA completion IRQ

When uart_flush_buffer() runs before the DMA completion IRQ is delivered,
the following race can occur (all steps serialized by uart_port_lock):

  1. DMA starts: tx_remaining = N, kfifo contains N bytes
  2. DMA completes in hardware; IRQ is pending but not yet delivered
  3. uart_flush_buffer() acquires the port lock and calls kfifo_reset(),
     making kfifo_len() = 0 while tx_remaining remains N
  4. uart_flush_buffer() releases the port lock
  5. DMA IRQ fires; handle_tx_dma() acquires the port lock and calls
     uart_xmit_advance(uport, tx_remaining) on an empty kfifo

uart_xmit_advance() increments kfifo->out by tx_remaining. Since
kfifo_reset() already set both in and out to 0, out wraps past in,
causing kfifo_len() to return UART_XMIT_SIZE - tx_remaining. The next
start_tx_dma() call then submits a DMA transfer of stale buffer data.

Fix this by snapshotting kfifo_len() at the start of handle_tx_dma()
and skipping uart_xmit_advance() when fifo_len < tx_remaining, which
indicates the kfifo was reset by a preceding flush.
