kernel: use-after-free can be caused by the function rsi_mac80211_detach in the file drivers/net/wireless/rsi/rsi_91x_mac80211.c
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 4.16.7. A use-after-free can be caused by the function rsi_mac80211_detach in the file drivers/net/wireless/rsi/rsi_91x_mac80211.c.
A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Redpine Signals driver implementation. A local attacker who is able force a module load (rsi_sdio) or usb plug/unplug could cause a system crash or memory corruption leading to privilege escalation. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
