A race condition flaw leading to a use-after-free issue was found in the Linux kernel media subsystem in the DVB CA EN50221 interface of the DVB core device driver. It could occur in the dvb_ca_en50221_release() function if there is a disconnect after an open, because of the lack of a wait_event. A local user could use this flaw to crash the system or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.

Mitigation

To mitigate this issue, it is possible to prevent the affected code from being loaded by blacklisting the dvb-core kernel module. For instructions on how to blacklist a kernel module, please see <https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278&gt;.
