CVE-2026-43061

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: serial: 8250: Fix TX deadlock when using DMA `dmaengine_terminate_async` does not guarantee that the `__dma_tx_complete` callback will run. The callback is currently the only place where `dma->tx_running` gets cleared. If the transaction is canceled and the callback never runs, then `dma->tx_running` will never get cleared and we will never schedule new TX DMA transactions again. This change makes it so we clear `dma->tx_running` after we terminate the DMA transaction. This is "safe" because `serial8250_tx_dma_flush` is holding the UART port lock. The first thing the callback does is also grab the UART port lock, so access to `dma->tx_running` is serialized.

The following products are affected by CVE-2026-43061 vulnerability.
