Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ADIS16480 Industrial I/O (IIO) driver. The driver fails to protect debug file system (debugfs) read operations against concurrent device removal. A local attacker with access to debugfs can exploit this race condition by reading firmware attributes while unbinding the device, causing a use-after-free condition. This flaw primarily results in a Denial of Service (DoS) through a kernel crash and may potentially lead to privilege escalation.
