Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2017-12-30 01:00 – Updated: 2024-08-05 21:06
VLAI?
Summary
Use-after-free in the usbtv_probe function in drivers/media/usb/usbtv/usbtv-core.c in the Linux kernel through 4.14.10 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering failure of audio registration, because a kfree of the usbtv data structure occurs during a usbtv_video_free call, but the usbtv_video_fail label's code attempts to both access and free this data structure.
Severity ?
No CVSS data available.
