UBUNTU-CVE-2026-74653: Low severity ubuntu/linux vulnerability

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: serial: 8250of: clear stuck empty-FIFO RX-timeout on LPC32xx The NXP LPC32xx UART (PORTLPC3220) can latch an RX character-timeout interrupt while the RX FIFO is empty: IIR reports UARTIIRRXTIMEOUT (0x0c) but LSR.DR is clear. A character timeout is only cleared by reading RHR, but serial8250rxchars() reads RHR only when LSR.DR is set, so nothing ever clears the condition. The interrupt is level-triggered and re-fires immediately, so on a single-core ARM926 the resulting interrupt storm livelocks the CPU. It is reproducible when userspace repeatedly opens the front-panel port (ttyS1): serial8250dosettermios() re-enables interrupts on unlock and the handler then spins forever with iir=0xcc lsr=0x60 ier=0x05, tripping the soft-lockup detector in serial8250handleirqlocked(). LPC32xx has no dedicated 8250 glue driver, it's driven by the generic 8250of. Add a hardware specific handleirq for PORTLPC3220, wired up in ofplatformserialsetup() the same way fsl8250handleirq is installed. The handler follows dw8250handleirq(): on an RX timeout with an empty FIFO (LSR.DR and LSR.BI clear) it does one throwaway RHR read to clear the condition, then calls serial8250handleirqlocked(). No real received data is ever discarded, and it is a no-op on healthy UARTs which never report a timeout with DR clear. This is the same class of bug already worked around in other 8250 drivers; see commit 424d79183af0 ("serial: 8250dw: Avoid "too much work" from bogus rx timeout interrupt") which reports the identical iir=0xcc/lsr=0x60. See also UARTRXTIMEOUTQUIRK in 8250omap, and the note in 8250bcm7271.
