Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use After Free in the amd_sfh_get_report function. An attacker can achieve arbitrary kernel memory disclosure, write to attacker-chosen addresses, and potentially hijack control flow by triggering use of freed memory through repeated reads of IIO sysfs attributes, leading to kernel panic or further exploitation.

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
