Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.
The vulnerability exists due to improper resource shutdown or release in pvr2_send_request_ex() when submitting USB request blocks. A local user can trigger a failure after a write URB has been submitted but before the corresponding read URB is submitted to cause a denial of service.
