CVE-2024-40967 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
There is no fixed version for RHEL:9 kernel-core.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-core package and not the kernel-core package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:9 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: imx: Introduce timeout when waiting on transmitter empty
By waiting at most 1 second for USR2_TXDC to be set, we avoid a potential deadlock.
In case of the timeout, there is not much we can do, so we simply ignore the transmitter state and optimistically try to continue.
