Doc Text:
Use-after-free vulnerability in the ffs_user_copy_worker function in drivers/usb/gadget/function/f_fs.c in the Linux kernel before 4.5.3 allows local users to gain privileges by accessing an I/O data structure after a certain callback call. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely.
