Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's fastrpc module. The fastrpc_req_mmap() function contains a double free vulnerability in its error handling path. This occurs when a buffer is freed twice, once during an unmap operation and again through an unconditional call to fastrpc_buf_free(). A local attacker could exploit this flaw to cause a system crash, leading to a denial of service.

Statement

This issue of double free may not allow attacker to write to an arbitrary kernel memory (I:N).
