Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's hackrf driver. A race condition exists where memory for the hackrf device is freed prematurely during device unregistration, even when file descriptors are still in use. This allows a local user to trigger a use-after-free and double-free vulnerability. Successful exploitation can lead to system instability, crashes, or a denial of service.
