Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Corsair Commander Pro (corsair-cpro) driver. When device initialization fails, the driver does not remove registered debug filesystem (debugfs) entries, leaving behind references to memory that has already been freed. A local user accessing these lingering entries can trigger a use-after-free condition, leading to a system crash and Denial of Service (DoS) or memory corruption.
