Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: venus: fix use after free in vdec_close
There appears to be a possible use after free with vdec_close().
The firmware will add buffer release work to the work queue through
HFI callbacks as a normal part of decoding. Randomly closing the
decoder device from userspace during normal decoding can incur
a read after free for inst.
Fix it by cancelling the work in vdec_close.
A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel. The firmware can add buffer release work to the work queue through HFI callbacks as a normal part of decoding. Randomly closing the decoder device from userspace during normal decoding can incur a read after free. This issue could allow an attacker to execute his own code using the dangling pointer.
