Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, specifically within the atmel-sha204a cryptographic hardware random number generator (hwrng) driver. During the device removal process, a race condition can occur where a queued callback might execute while the device is being torn down. This can lead to a Use-After-Free (UAF) vulnerability, potentially allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service. Additionally, an issue with early returns in the removal path could prevent proper freeing of resources, resulting in a memory leak.

Mitigation

No mitigation is specified in collected source.
