The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the pn533_usb_send_ack(), pn533_usb_send_frame(), pn533_acr122_poweron_rdr() and pn533_usb_probe() functions in drivers/nfc/pn533/usb.c. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.
