Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free in the Broadcom BDC USB gadget UDC driver IRQ handler and delayed work processing when tearing down the driver during device removal. A local user can trigger a shared interrupt or delayed work execution during teardown to cause a denial of service.
