CWE-ID: CWE-416

Exploitation vector: Local access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a use-after-free condition.

The vulnerability exists due to improper reference handling in the SCMI device destruction path when a concurrent unregister occurs after an SCMI child-device lookup. A local user can trigger concurrent SCMI device destruction and unregistration to cause a use-after-free condition.
