The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to out-of-bounds write in dmar_latency_disable() when disabling latency statistics for a type value greater than 0. A local user can trigger the vulnerable code path to cause a denial of service.
When the type value is greater than 0, the operation writes beyond the end of the allocated array and corrupts adjacent memory.
