      <title>CVE-2026-98749 — tty: serial: max3100: shut down timer before freeing port</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/cve-2026-98749</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Linux&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;tty: serial: max3100: shut down timer before freeing port&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;max3100_shutdown() stops the polling timer but returns early during
system suspend. If the SPI device is unbound before resume, the serial
core does not call max3100_shutdown() again, so max3100_remove() frees
the port while the timer remains armed. max3100_timeout() may then
access the freed port and re-arm the timer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Add final timer teardown to max3100_remove() and use
timer_shutdown_sync() to prevent a racing callback from re-arming it.
Also free the IRQ and destroy the workqueue there before freeing the
port. Keep timer_delete_sync() in max3100_shutdown() so that a
subsequent open() can re-arm the timer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The workqueue is created before request_irq() and destroyed on both
request_irq() failure and normal shutdown. Its presence at remove thus
identifies the IRQ left registered when suspend bypasses shutdown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Free the IRQ before destroying the workqueue, in both
max3100_shutdown() and max3100_remove(), and cancel the pending work
in between. free_irq() waits for a running interrupt handler to
finish and no new handler can start afterwards, so a racing handler
cannot queue work on a workqueue that is being destroyed; the
force_end_work check in max3100_dowork() only narrows that window, as
a handler delayed between the check and queue_work() could still run
after the teardown has cleared the workqueue pointer. Cancelling the
work also keeps destr…&lt;/p&gt;</description>
