High
| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Linux kernel (affected versions not specified)
Description
The Linux kernel contains a flaw within the iommu/mediatek driver related to reference handling of larb devices during probe operations. Specifically, the driver incorrectly drops references to larb devices, potentially leading to a use-after-free condition if a larb device hasn't been bound to its driver, causing a probe deferral. This issue is addressed by maintaining the expected references while the iommu driver is bound.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
