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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer. |

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 means that the system may attempt to use memory after it has been freed, potentially leading to unexpected behavior or security issues.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
If exploited, this vulnerability could allow a local attacker who already has System privileges to escalate their privileges further. No user interaction is required for exploitation.
What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
Apply the patch identified as ALPS10196993 provided by the vendor to fix the memory corruption issue. Since the vulnerability allows local escalation of privilege without user interaction, ensure that only trusted users have System privileges and monitor for any unusual privilege escalations until the patch is applied.
