Description Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2020-01-23 14:04:47 UTC

In the Linux kernel before 5.1.6, there is a use-after-free in cpia2_exit() in drivers/media/usb/cpia2/cpia2_v4l.c that will cause denial of service.

Created kernel tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1794400]

This was fixed for Fedora in the 5.1.6 stable kernel update.

Comment 3 Alex 2020-02-18 13:45:04 UTC

Mitigation:

To mitigate this issue, prevent module cpia2 from being loaded. Please see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for how to blacklist a kernel module to prevent it from loading automatically.
