Description
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.2.6. There is a use-after-free caused by a malicious USB device in the drivers/media/usb/cpia2/cpia2_usb.c driver.
A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's cpia2_usb driver. An attacker must have physical access to the system to utilize a malicious USB device to trigger the disconnect() functionality which is required to trigger this flaw. A local account is also required to take advantage of the use-after-free memory condition. System availability is the highest threat from this vulnerability.
