Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

serial: amba-pl011: cancel RS485 hrtimers after freeing IRQ

The RS485 trigger hrtimers are embedded in the devm-managed port and can
fire after it is freed. The IRQ handler can arm a timer, so free the IRQ
first and then cancel both timers.

Complete the RS485 stop without arming a timer, and cancel the timers
in remove() for the suspend-then-unbind path, where shutdown is not
called.

This issue was found by an in-house static analysis tool.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2026-74652 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
