      <title>CVE-2026-43061 — serial: 8250: Fix TX deadlock when using DMA</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-43061</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;serial: 8250: Fix TX deadlock when using DMA&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;`dmaengine_terminate_async` does not guarantee that the
`__dma_tx_complete` callback will run. The callback is currently the
only place where `dma-&amp;gt;tx_running` gets cleared. If the transaction is
canceled and the callback never runs, then `dma-&amp;gt;tx_running` will never
get cleared and we will never schedule new TX DMA transactions again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This change makes it so we clear `dma-&amp;gt;tx_running` after we terminate
the DMA transaction. This is &amp;#34;safe&amp;#34; because `serial8250_tx_dma_flush`
is holding the UART port lock. The first thing the callback does is also
grab the UART port lock, so access to `dma-&amp;gt;tx_running` is serialized.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
