Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in the iowarrior USB driver when release() races with disconnect(). A local user can trigger device release and disconnection in a racing condition to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.

Exploitation requires access to the affected USB device interface.
