Name | CVE-2023-52445 |
Description | In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: pvrusb2: fix use after free on context disconnection
Upon module load, a kthread is created targeting the
pvr2_context_thread_func function, which may call pvr2_context_destroy
and thus call kfree() on the context object. However, that might happen
before the usb hub_event handler is able to notify the driver. This
patch adds a sanity check before the invalid read reported by syzbot,
within the context disconnection call stack. |
