In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: w1: fix NULL pointer dereference in probe The w1uartprobe() function calls w1uartserdevopen() (which includes devmserdevdeviceopen()) before setting the client ops via serdevdevicesetclientops(). This ordering can trigger a NULL pointer dereference in the serdev controller's receivebuf handler, as it assumes serdev->ops is valid when SERPORTACTIVE is set. This is similar to the issue fixed in commit 5e700b384ec1 ("platform/chrome: crosecuart: properly fix race condition") where devmserdevdeviceopen() was called before fully initializing the device. Fix the race by ensuring client ops are set before enabling the port via w1uartserdevopen().
