CWE ID Description
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 Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
CWE-362 The product contains a concurrent code sequence that requires temporary, exclusive access to a shared resource, but a timing window exists in which the shared resource can be modified by another code sequence operating concurrently.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability occurs in the vpu_open_inst function within the vpu_ioctl.c file, where a race condition can cause a use after free error.

A use after free means that the program tries to use memory after it has been freed, which can lead to unpredictable behavior or exploitation.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability could allow a local attacker to escalate their privileges without needing any additional execution privileges.

Exploitation does not require any user interaction, making it potentially easier for an attacker to leverage.
