Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Universal Flash Storage (UFS) subsystem. A local attacker with low privileges could trigger a vulnerability during the handling of UFS device management command timeouts. If a command times out and its doorbell fails to clear, a subsequent completion can lead to a use-after-free condition on a stack-allocated structure. This can result in a system crash, causing a Denial of Service (DoS).
