Threats tagged 'ghsa-9hm8-83j2-jcqx'

A use-after-free and double-free vulnerability was identified and resolved in the Linux kernel's vidtv media subsystem. The issue arises because local pointers are not initialized to NULL after transferring memory ownership, leading to potential double freeing of memory. This flaw affects the handling of program, service, and event lists in the vidtv_channel_si_init() function and related memory assignment functions. The vulnerability could cause memory corruption and potentially allow for privilege escalation or denial of service.
