reached only through the local PCI remove path (bttv_remove → kfree(btv)) while btv->timeout may still fire; that is driver unbind/module unload or local hot-remove on a Bt8xx card, not a network or adjacent-link surface.\nAC:L - An attacker who starts V4L2 capture (buffer_queue → bttv_set_dma → mod_timer) while triggering remove controls both sides of the race against bttv_irq_timeout; remove never cancelled the timer before the fix, so the overlap is attacker-driven and retryable.\nPR:L - Arming the timer needs only /dev/video* access (udev group video); driver unbind/unload on an already-present card is scored Low consistent with the same-class media timer-UAF CVE-2023-53219 and the prefer-higher-severity rule.\nUI:N - The attacker starts streaming and initiates driver removal themselves; no separate victim action such as opening attacker-supplied content is required.\nS:U - The freed struct bttv (with embedded timer_list) is ordinary host-kernel heap under the same authority; there is no VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or sandbox boundary crossed.\nC:H - bttv_irq_timeout derives btv via from_timer and reads freed fields (curr, cvbi, capture lists, locks); UAF reclaim enables arbitrary kernel disclosure, scored High per UAF guidance.\nI:H - The handler takes btv->s_lock and mutates curr/cvbi/capture/vcapture and DMA state on freed memory, yielding heap-spray write and control-flow hijack primitives typical of kernel UAFs.\nA:H - A use-after-free timer firing against kfree'd btv reliably causes kernel oops/panic even when not fully exploited, which is Availability High." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git",
