    CVE-2026-90057

    In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: slip: remove slip_hangup() to fix use-after-free in slip_receive_buf() Jaeyoung Chung and Eulgyu Kim reported a slab-use-after-free read in slip_receive_buf() when racing against tty hangup. tty_ldisc_hangup() calls ld->ops->hangup() while holding only a read lock on tty->ldisc_sem (via tty_ldisc_ref()). Because slip_hangup() simply called slip_close(), it ran concurrently with reader functions such as slip_receive_buf(). slip_close() unregisters and frees the net device and its private struct slip, causing concurrent reader threads in slip_receive_buf() to dereference freed memory. Line discipline close() is already guaranteed to be called under the write lock of tty->ldisc_sem during hangup processing (in tty_ldisc_reinit() or tty_ldisc_kill()). Remove slip_hangup() so teardown is serialized cleanly by slip_close().
