Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure in the pmic_glink_altmode process. An attacker can cause kernel memory disclosure, memory corruption, or system crash by triggering a race condition during device probing that leads to use of a freed bridge pointer.

Note: The Linux kernel project assigns a CVE to every bug fix it ships, whether or not the bug has been shown to be exploitable. This advisory was generated from that process and has not been individually assessed for exploitability. See the kernel's CVE process documentation: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/Documentation/process/cve.rst
