Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: atomisp: Fix use after free in atomisp_alloc_css_stat_bufs()
The "s3a_buf" is freed along with all the other items on the "asd->s3a_stats" list. It leads to a double free and a use after free.
Statement
A use-after-free/double-free flaw in the Linux kernel's Intel atomisp camera driver (staging): atomisp_alloc_css_stat_bufs() can free an s3a statistics buffer that is also freed via the asd->s3a_stats list, leading to a double free and use-after-free. Exploitation requires privileged local access to the atomisp V4L2 device, so Red Hat rates this Low (4.4, denial of service only), below external scores (NIST/CVE.org 7.8). Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernels do not build the atomisp staging driver (CONFIG_VIDEO_ATOMISP is not set), so supported Red Hat products are not affected.
