Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's ADIS16400 driver. A local user with access to the debug file system (debugfs) could cause a Denial of Service (DoS) or kernel memory corruption due to a use-after-free condition. This issue occurs because the driver creates its serial number debugfs file without proper reference protection, allowing the underlying device structure to be freed during device unbinding while a read operation is actively in progress.
