Exploitability
| CWE ID | Description |
|---|---|
| CWE-415 | The product calls free() twice on the same memory address. |
| CWE-416 | The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer. |

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
This vulnerability is a memory corruption issue caused by a use after free error in the display component. It can be exploited locally by an attacker who already has System privileges, and it does not require any user interaction to be triggered.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
The vulnerability could lead to local escalation of privilege, meaning an attacker with existing System privileges could exploit this flaw to gain higher or more persistent control over the system.
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Apply the patch identified as ALPS10196993 to fix the memory corruption issue. Since the vulnerability allows local escalation of privilege without user interaction, ensure that systems are updated promptly to prevent exploitation.
