Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use After Free in the arch_mem_domain_deinit process. An attacker can cause memory corruption or system instability by triggering the de-initialization of a memory domain, leading to a dangling pointer in the global xtensa_domain_list that may be dereferenced during subsequent memory mapping operations. This is only exploitable if the system is running on Xtensa targets with both CONFIG_USERSPACE and CONFIG_XTENSA_MMU enabled, and the attack path is only reachable from privileged kernel or supervisor code.
