The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in the media request and videobuf queue handling code when reinitializing media requests concurrently with queue teardown. A local user can trigger concurrent MEDIA_REQUEST_IOC_REINIT and VIDIOC_REQBUFS(0) operations to cause a denial of service.
Only request-capable devices are affected.
