Description

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's AMT (Accelerated Mobile Page) device driver. A use-after-free vulnerability can occur due to a race condition during device removal. This allows delayed work items to access a freed memory structure, potentially leading to kernel crashes or memory corruption. An attacker could exploit this to impact system stability or integrity.

Statement

This issue affects Intel AMT (Active Management Technology) devices. Pending delayed works can access freed amt_dev after device removal. Systems without AMT hardware are not affected.
