Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Adreno GPU driver. This use-after-free vulnerability occurs in the a6xx_gpu_init() function. Specifically, the a6xx_destroy() function frees the a6xx_gpu memory, but adreno_gpu continues to point to the freed memory. An attacker could potentially exploit this to cause a denial of service or achieve arbitrary code execution.
